Verse:
A5
Eva Mae,
   A5                     A5
I remember the day you were born
           A5
It was the summer
A5                          A5            A5
Your mum and dad called me up to say how proud
     A5
They were
B5                       D5                  A5                  
Voices ringing with the love of a new born child
B5                      D5               A5      A5
Light shining in their eyes, expectant smiles

(Same as previous Verse)

Eva Mae,
Well your father and I have been friends
Many years
Watched the world around us change,
Hoped our hopes, feared our fears
He asked me to watch you, as you grow
Hold your hand through the highs and lift you up through the lows

        F#5
Now Eva Mae,
           D5
Don't you judge me too hard
   A5                             E5
I try to be a good man to be the best with what I got
     F#5
Eva Mae,
        D5              
I will teach you what I know
     E5                                  A5
And watch over you everywhere that you go

(Same as first verse)
 
Eva Mae,
I have made many mistakes
In my time
Built my share of bridges and broken hearts
I've told lies
I have not always followed my own advice
I've fallen flat
But Eva darling sometimes that's just life

Eva Mae,
With the way that I am I might not
Much be around
But I'll stop in from time to time to share
The things I've learnt
You should keep your friends and family close 
And always always always try to say yes
And we can not ever one of us be perfect 
But darling we can try our best


        F#5
Now Eva Mae,
        D5
I won't ever judge your heart, 
      A5                                E5
Just try to be a good girl and do the best with what you got
        F#5
Now Eva Mae,
        D5
I will teach you what I know,
     E5                                 A5
And watch over you everywhere that you go
                    A5
Everywhere that you go
