Evangelina Chords by Hoyt Axton

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And I [F] dream in [Em] the morning [D] _ _ that she brings [G] me water
_ _ _ And I dream in [A] the evening _ [B] that she brings [D] me wine
_ _ Just a poor [G]
man's daughter _ [C] _ from Porto Pignasco
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ Evangelina, oh, [G] make her go
_ _ _ There's a [Em] great hot _ desert [D] _ south of [G] _
Mexicali
_ _ And if you don't [A] have _ water, _ boy, you better [D] not go
_ _ Tequila [G] won't get you [C] _ _ across [G] that desert
_ _ _ To [D] _
_ Evangelina, _ _ oh, [G] Mexico
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] And the fire I feel [F] for the woman I [C] love is driving me [G] insane
Knowing [D] she's waiting _ _ [C] and I [G] can't get there
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm]
God only knows [F] that I rack my [C] brain to try [G] to find a way
To reach [D] that woman _ _ from _ [G] Mexico
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [G] _

_ _ [C] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] And _ [A] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] I met a kind [D] man, he guarded [G] the border
_ He said, you don't [A] need _ papers, _ [Em] I'll let [D] you go
_ _ _ I can tell that [G] you love her _ [C] _ by the look in [G] your eyes now
_ _ She's the rose of [D] the _ desert, _ _ oh, [G] Mexico
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] And the fire I feel [F] for the woman I [C] love is driving me [G] insane
Knowing [D] she's waiting _ [C] and _ I [G] can't get there
_ God _ _ [Bm]
only knows [F] that I rack my [C] brain to try to [G] find a way
To [D] reach that woman _ _ from Mexico
[G] _
_ _ _ _ And I [Em] dream in the morning _ [D] _ that she brings [G] me water
_ _ And I dream in [A] the evening _ _ that she brings [D] me wine
_ _ Just a poor [G]
man's daughter _ [C] _ _ from Puerto [G] _
Pinostco
_ _ South [D] of the _ border, _ _ [E] oh, [G] Mexico
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _
_ Evangelina, _ _ I [C] miss you so
