Acadienne

[G]WHEN the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
There’s a [C]mist that’s hanging right in between
[G]The Spanish moss & the cypress TREES
And the [D]memory of the life that’s go[G]ne 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 pe[G]tit Acadien
[D]C’est plus que possible
[D7]Tu le sais A[G]cadienne

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

[G]From the Louisiana to the Florida
That’s a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)
That’s a[C] 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

And my father never found peace enough

Every time we’d get settled down
[D]We’d wake up headin[D7]g for another town

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’ll[G] be forever, make it permanent
[D]And the life you get is the life that[G] I want
[D]C’est plus que possible
