Evangeline Turnpike Troubadours
Intro and Instrumental are the same as chorus.
[Bm]Lookin back well I see you
with [G]eyes that shouldn't be so blue
[D]Clearer than the calm before t[A]he rain
[Bm]So alive it wasn't fair t[G]o live without a single care
[D]I loved you and you felt for me t[A]he same
[Em7]So beautiful that words could n[G]ot define
[Em7]Sweeter than the lord's communio[A]n wine
(Chorus)
[G]Evangeline can't you see I'[D]m sorry
Can't you hear my [G]tears ringin through t[A]he night
I wait in[D] h[D/C#]ell between t[Bm]hese [G]bedsheets
And pray t[D]o g[A]od for morn[D]ing light
And winter came and blood ran cold
as ever present sleet and snow
Outside of a December window pane
This house would never be our home
Hand in hand we walk alone
I thought the sun would never shine again
And the oldest violin could never whine
A melody as sorrowful as mine
(Chorus)
Now I've seen your face a thousand times
and nightmares runnin through my mind
It hurts just to pretend
But the devil fell and so have i
Never thought a love like this would end
Now your words they cut right through me like a knife
I gave my love and now I take my life
(Chorus)
