Evangeline chords
The Band (Robbie Robertson  Live from the Shibuya Public Hall, Tokyo, Japan 25-Feb-1987)

D

    G
She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
                      D7
Alone in the pale moonlight
D
Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler
                 G
Said that he'd return tonight
             G
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
                       D7
Loving the whole night through
D

Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
                G
And bring it on home to you

 G
Evangeline, Evangeline
G
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
     G
That pulled her man away

G
Bayou Sam, from the South Louisian
                    D7
Had gambling in his veins
 D
Evangeline, from the Maritimes
           G
Was slowly going insane

    G
She stands on the top of Hickory Hill
                                D7
She stands in the lightning and thunder
D
Down on the river the boat was a-sinking
                 G
She watched that queen go under

G
Evangeline, Evangeline
G
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
     G
That pulled her man away . . . .
