Acadienne by Stephen Stills


Gmajor
WHEN the bayous haunted by Evangeline
In the pre-dawn hours close to Halloween
          Cmajor
There’s a mist that’s hanging right in between
Gmajor
The Spanish moss & the cypress TREES
        Dmajor                           Gmajor
And the memory of the life that’s gone wrong
Dmajor                
C’est plus que possible
D7            Gmajor
Tu le sais Acadienne

Gmajor
I’m a driver alone in my Cadillac
In a white chair rug you’ll be thinking back
Cmajor
TO be running wild as a child OF NINE
       Gmajor
And the snakes and ‘gators they was friends of mine
Dmajor                    Gmajor
I’ll forever be un petit Acadien
Dmajor
C’est plus que possible
D7          Gmajor
Tu le sais Acadienne

Cmajor2
And MY father never found peace enough
Gmajor
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Cmajor2
Every time we’d get settled down
      Dmajor
We’d wake up heading for another town

Gmajor
From the Louisiana to the Florida
That’s a be my home to a (un-im-up ???)
        Cmajor
That’s a simple people don’t complicate
        Gmajor
And you hear the future in the hands of fate
        Dmajor                            Gmajor
And the life you get is the life that I want
Dmajor
C’est plus que possible
D7               Gmajor
Tu le sais Acadienne

Cmajor2
And my father never found peace enough
Gmajor
To cure his permanent wanderlust
Cmajor2
Every time we’d get settled down
Dmajor                  D7
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
    Cmajor
And there’s powerful forces out up the swamp
     Gmajor
It’ll be forever, make it permanent
Dmajor                                    Gmajor
And the life you get is the life that I want
Dmajor
C’est plus que possible
D7              Gamjor
Tu le sais Acadienne
Dmajor
C’est plus que possible
D7               Gmajor
Tu le sais Acadienne
