WHEN the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
There's [C]a mist that's hanging right in between
[G]The Spanish moss & the cypress TREES
And the [D]memory of the life that's [G]gone wrong
[D]C'est plus que possible
[D7]Tu le sais Aca[G]dienne
[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
And the[G] snakes and 'gators they was friends of mine
[D]I'll forever be un [G]petit Acadien
[D]C'est plus que possible
[D7]Tu le sais A[G]cadienne
Cmajor2
And MY father never found peace enough
[G]To cure his permanent wanderlust
Cmajor2
Every time we'd get settled down
We'd[D] wake up heading for another town
[G]That's a be my home to a (un-im-up '?)
That's[C] a simple people don't complicate
And you [G]hear the future in the hands of fate
And the [D]life you get is the life that[G] I want
[D]C'est plus que possible
[D7]Tu le sais Acadie[G]nne
Cmajor2
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 head[D7]ing for another town
Gamjor
Hear me boy cos your love is why
You got two three words you gonna be alright
And [C]there's powerful forces out up the swamp
It'[G]ll be forever, make it permanent
[D]And the life you get is the life that[G] I want
[D]C'est plus que possible
