Harris Emmylou - Evangeline guitar tab

Emmylou Harris Evangeline written by Robbie Robertson

Eb

She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

Bb

Alone in the pale moonlight

Bb

Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler

Eb

Said that he'd return tonight

They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

Bb

Lovin' the whole night through

Bb

He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'

Eb

And bring it on back to you

Ab Eb

Evangeline Evangeline

Bb Eb

Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

Bb Eb

That pulled her man away

SOLO

Eb

Bayou Sam from South Louisian'

Bb

Had gamblin' in his veins

Evangeline from the maritime

Eb

Was slowly goin' insane

High on the top of a Hickory Hill

Bb

She stands in the lightning and thunder

Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'

Eb

She watched that Queen go under

Ab Eb

Evangeline Evangeline

Bb Eb

Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

Bb Eb

That pulled her man away

Ab Eb

Evangeline Evangeline

Bb Eb

Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

Bb Eb

That pulled her man away
