Intro D5 C#5
F#5 C#5
Got me a girl in acadia my evangeline
D5 F#5
But I ain't seen her face in three long years
G#5 C#5
Since I sailed away to sea
F#5
She comes to me at night when I'm dreaming
C#5
Long hair blowin' in the breeze
D5 F#5
And what feels like the warm embrace of her arms
C#5 F#5
Is really just the rolling of the seas
D5 F#5
So carry me away boys, carry me away
C#5 F#5
Carry me to my home
D5
'Cause I long for the girl with
F#5
The sun in her eyes

So get ready, get set
A5 C#5
And here we go
D5 C#5 B5 A5 F#5
We'll sail away to pubnico
G#5 A5
Where the women are warm when the cold
C#5
Wind blows
D5 C#5 B5 A5 F#5
We'll sail away to pubnico
F#5
Now she stands on the shore so sweetly
C#5
Eyes cast out to the sea
D5
And the tears that she cries
F#5
Fall like rain from the skies
C#5 F#5
I can taste them at the bottom of the sea
C#5 F#5
Oh evangeline, please don't wait for me
C#5 F#5
I'm never coming home, evangeline
