Subject: RE: Chord Req: Hoyt Axton Song: EVANGELINA
Rich,
Nice chords and pretty close to the way I do it. I wrote mine out to post them this morning, but you beat me to it.
I think I'll post them anyway 'cause yu can use an F Chord in the chorus, which I think makes the song. The way I play it is :
(G)And I dream in the (Em)morning, (D)that she brings me (G)water
And I dream in the (A)evening, that she brings me (D)wine
Just a (D)poor man's daughter--(C)-- from (D)Porto Pen(G)ãsco
South of the (D)border—(D7)-- in Old Mexic(G)o
CHORUS
And the f(D)ire I feel for that (F)woman I love it's dr(C)ivin' me ins(G)ane
Knowin' she's w(D)aiting --(D7)--I can't g(G)et there (C/D)
G(D)od only knows that I'll (F)wrack my brain, to t(C)ry to find a w(G)ay
To reach that w(D)oman --(C)-- in Old M(G)exico
