WHEN the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
          C
There’s a mist that’s hanging right in between
G
The Spanish moss & the cypress TREES
        D                           G
And the memory of the life that’s gone wrong
D                
C’est plus que possible
D7            G
Tu le sais Acadienne

G
I’m a driver alone in my Cadillac
In a white chair rug you’ll be thinking back
C
TO be running wild as a child OF NINE
       G
And the snakes and ‘gators they was friends of mine
D                    G
I’ll forever be un petit Acadien
D
C’est plus que possible
D7          G
Tu le sais Acadienne

And MY father never found peace enough
G
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Cmajor2
Every time we’d get settled down
      D
We’d wake up heading for another town

G
From the Louisiana to the Florida
That’s a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)
        C
That’s a simple people don’t complicate
        G
And you hear the future in the hands of fate
        D                            G
And the life you get is the life that I want
D
C’est plus que possible
D7               G
Tu le sais Acadienne

Cmajor2
And my father never found peace enough
G
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Cmajor2
Every time we’d get settled down
D                  D7
We’d wake up heading for another town

Hear me boy cos your love is why

You got two three words you gonna be alright
    C
And there’s powerful forces out up the swamp
     G
It’ll be forever, make it permanent
D                                    G
And the life you get is the life that I want
D
C’est plus que possible
