EVANGELINA
Hoyt Axton 1975
A[G]nd I dream in the m[Em]orning, [D] that she brings me w[G]ater;
[G]And I dream in the ev[A]ening, [A7] that she brings me w[D]ine.[D7]
Just a poor manâ??s d[G]aughter,[C] from Porta Pe[G]n~asco;
Evange[D]lina, [D7] Old Mex[G]ico.
[G]Thereâ??s a great hot [Em]desert, [D] South of Me[G]xicalli;
[G]If you donâ??t have [A]water, [A7] youâ??d better [D]not g[D7]o.
Tequilla wonâ??t[G] get you,[C] across that [G]desert;
to Evange[D]lina, [D7] in Old Mex[G]ico.
(CHORUS)
And the [F#m]Fire I feel for the [F]woman I love, Is d[C]riving me i[G]nsane;
knowing sheâ??s [D]waiting[D7], and I canâ??t g[G]et there.
[F#m]God only knows that I r[F]ack my brain to [C]try to find a [G]way,
to reach that wo[D]man, [D7] in old Mex[G]ico.
[G]And I met a k[Em]ind man, [D] he guarded the B[G]order;
[G]He said you donâ??t need [A]papers, [A7] Iâ??ll let [D]you g[D7]o.
I can tell that you l[G]ove her, [C] by the look in your e[G]yes now;
Sheâ??s the rose of th[D]e desert[D7], in old M[G]exico.
(CHORUS)
And the [F#m]Fire I feel for the w[F]oman I love, Is d[C]riving me in[G]sane;
knowing sheâ??s[D] waiting,[D7] and I canâ??t ge[G]t there.
[F#m]God only knows that I r[F]ack my brain to t[C]ry to find a [G]way,
to reach that w[D]oman, [D7] in old Mex[G]ico.
A[G]nd I dream in the m[Em]orning, [D] that she brings me w[G]ater;
A[G]nd I dream in the e[A]vening, [A7] that she brings me w[D]ine.[D7]
Just a poor manâ??s [G]daughter,[C] from Porta Pe[G]n~asco;
South of the B[D]order, [D7] in old Mex[G]ico.
Evange[D]lina, [D7] I miss you [C]so. I miss you [G]so.
