Verse 
------ 

Bm     A        G                   D 
   Red shoes go sailing through the trees 
           G         D 
Leaving no traces at all 
           G 
Not even a scatter in the leaves 
A 
Reflections are only memories 

Chorus 
------- 

Em         D/F#      
Evergreen, lay down beside me 
G          A 
Evergreen, Evergreen 
Bm         G 
Evergreen, make me feel whole again 
D                  A 
Help me undo these chains, my love 
G                    D                   A  
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean 
G              D         A  
Evergreen, Evergreen, my love, my love 

repeat Intro 

Verse 
------ 

Bm             A       G              D                
   It might be easy to judge all that kindness 
   G             D                 A                      A|-5--4--2--   
If you had grown accustomed to the darkness in the light 
Bm            A                  G             D        
   But certainly any room with a view of other windows 
          G 
Must have doors that you can use 
              A 
So you can be happy for the first time in your live 
G                               A (it goes on until the Chorus)  
Amen, it's your destiny, it can start any time 
And maybe you'll find someone 
To lay some roots down next to you 
More like the trees and less like the clouds 
Stop moving around so much 

Chorus 
------- 

Em         D/F#      
Evergreen, lay down beside me 
G          A 
Evergreen, Evergreen 
Bm         G 
Evergreen, make me feel whole again 
D                  A 
Help me undo these chains, my love 
Em         D/F#      
Evergreen, lay down beside me 
G          A 
Evergreen, Evergreen 
Bm         G 
Evergreen, make me feel whole again 
D                  A 
Help me undo these chains, my love 
G                    D                   A  
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean 
G              D         A  
Evergreen, Evergreen, my love, my love 

End on the intro riff 

tips: use lots of hammer ons, you can freely throw in the fourth when you're on the A, 
and in the long A section in the second verse you can alternate between A and A7 to give the  
part a subtle movement.  
always listen to the song and check for timing and mistakes (I'm pretty confident it's  
correct, but hey, you never know :D ) 
delicious song from a very good record.
