Diana Jones - Evangelina



INTRO: A minorAm D MajorD  A minorAm

                          G+G
Riding in from Wilmington, through fields of cottonwood
    A minorAm                      E minorEm
At the end of a three day journey, face of Angelina stood
A minorAm                            G+G
Briars lie beneath her feet, a crown of [tangles] in her hair
     A minorAm                       G+G   A minorAm
Upon her face no trace of the girl, he left behind, did linger there

                           G+G
"My love I left you for to fight, I left you for the war
   A minorAm                     E minorEm
But a folly drove me far apart, kept me from your door
 A minorAm                     G+G
I procured a taste for liquor, oh, the gaming life
 A minorAm                       G+G   A minorAm
I should have returned to your side to claim you for my wife"


INTERLUDE: D-Am D-Am D MajorD A minorAm G+G  A minorAm  E7E7  A minorAm


                      G+G
"Oh, tell me, oh, tell me, my dearest Angelilina
  A minorAm                          E minorEm
Who was it took your sweet smile, what did this, this day claim
  A minorAm                             G+G
The colour from your ruby lips, your [reddle] sets the place to shame
  A minorAm               G+G    A minorAm
Who gave to you a baby, but did not give his name"


INSTRUMENTAL: D-Am D-Am D MajorD A minorAm G+G  A minorAm  E7E7  A minorAm (2x)


                       G+G
"I will never tell you, I will take it to my grave
  A minorAm                     E minorEm
Who was it stole my young heart and carried it away
  A minorAm                            G+G
The ride of love did fall to dust, now it's blackened up the sky
     A minorAm              G+G    A minorAm
I will remain, my remembrance, my baby boy and I"

                               G+G
"The ride of love did fall to dust, now it's blackened up the sky
     A minorAm              G+G    A minorAm
I will remain, my remembrance, my baby boy and I
     A minorAm              G+G    A minorAm
I will remain, my remembrance, my baby boy and I"
