evangeline chords
the band ( robbie robertson live from the shibuya public hall , tokyo , japan 25 – feb – 1987 )

G D

G
she stands on the banks of the mighty mississippi
D D7
alone in the pale moonlight
D
waiting for a man , a riverboat gambler
D7 G
said that he’d return tonight

G
they used to waltz on the banks of the mighty mississippi
D D7
loving the whole night through
D
til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
D7 G
and bring it on home to you

C G
evangeline , evangeline
D G
curses the soul of the mississippi queen
D D7 G
that pulled her man away

G
bayou sam , from the south louisian
D D7
had gambling in his veins
D
evangeline , from the maritimes
D7 G
was slowly going insane

G
she stands on the top of hickory hill
D D7
she stands in the lightning and thunder
D
down on the river the boat was A – sinking
D7 G
she watched that queen go under

C G
evangeline , evangeline
D G
curses the soul of the mississippi queen
D D7 G
that pulled her man away . . . .
