Verse 

D                    G 
 It's feeling like a wasted night, 
F#m                     A             A#dim7 
 The piano's dead, the drummer's tight 
    Bm          A   G 
The song's gone cold 
Em          A 
 but no-one seems to mind, 
 G         A                      D  A 
Evangeline I'll try again sometime. 
D                     G 
 I've heard it from a friend or two, 
F#m                     A        A#dim7 
 They say they like the things I do, 
    Bm              A   G  Em     A 
But friends are seldom more than company, 
 G            A                            D 
Evangeline, you're what a friend should be. 

 
Em                     A 
 Freedom friend you've found me, 
    D        D/C#  Bm 
Now love is all around me. 
B                Em             D/A       A 
 Imagine my surprise, imagine my surprise. 

Verse 

D                     G 
 The city streets are no place to hide, 
F#m                    A           A#dim7 
 And failure loves me like a bride, 
    Bm            A   G  Em           A 
But points her finger now to someone new, 
     G           A                     D 
So, Evangeline, I'm coming home to you. 

 
Em                     A 
 Freedom friend you've found me, 
    D        D/C#  Bm 
Now love is all around me. 
B                Em           D/A         A 
 Imagine my surprise, imagine my surprise.
