[Chorus]
      D
Evangeline is on the road
            A
Just barely seventeen
              D  G  A
When she left home
                     D
Don’t know where she is
                G
Or where she’s goin’
            D              A            D A D
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline

[Verse 1]
               A                 D
I can still remember this little girl
                A                       D
Black eyes just starin’ at this big old world
             G                 D
Went off to find some American dream
                 A      G                 D  G  A
Train ticket in one hand and her new blue jeans

[Chorus]
      D
Evangeline is on the road
            A
Just barely seventeen
              D  G  A
When she left home
                     D
Don’t know where she is
                G
Or where she’s goin’
            D              A            D A D
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline

[Verse 2]
             A                     D
She went out dancin’ on a Saturday night
                   A                     D
Silk stockings and high heels blue liner on her eyes
            G                  D
Come Sunday mornin’ she’s all alone
                   A          G
Head lyin’ on the night stand
           D   G  A
By the telephone

[Chorus]
      D
Evangeline is on the road
            A
Just barely seventeen
              D  G  A
When she left home
                     D
Don’t know where she is
                G
Or where she’s goin’
            D              A            D 
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
            D              A            D 
She is the queen of make believe, Evangeline
