G5
WHEN the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
C5
There?s a mist that?s hanging right in between
G5
The Spanish moss & the cypress TREES
D5 G5
And the memory of the life that?s gone wrong
D5
C?est plus que possible
D5 G5
Tu le sais Acadienne
G5
I?m a driver alone in my Cadillac
In a white chair rug you?ll be thinking back
C5
TO be running wild as a child OF NINE
G5
And the snakes and ?gators they was friends of mine
D5 G5
I?ll forever be un petit Acadien
D5
C?est plus que possible
D5 G5
Tu le sais Acadienne
Cmajor2
And MY father never found peace enough
G5
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Cmajor2
Every time we?d get settled down
D5
We?d wake up heading for another town
G5
From the Louisiana to the Florida
That?s a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)
C5
That?s a simple people don?t complicate
G5
And you hear the future in the hands of fate
D5 G5
And the life you get is the life that I want
D5
C?est plus que possible
D5 G5
Tu le sais Acadienne
Cmajor2
And my father never found peace enough
G5
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Cmajor2
Every time we?d get settled down
D5 D5
We?d wake up heading for another town
Gamjor
Hear me boy cos your love is why
You got two three words you gonna be alright
C5
And there?s powerful forces out up the swamp
G5
It?ll be forever, make it permanent
D5 G5
And the life you get is the life that I want
D5
C?est plus que possible
D5 Gamjor
Tu le sais Acadienne
D5
C?est plus que possible
D5 G5
Tu le sais Acadienne
