Acadian Moon

C                        G                                          F                           G                            C     G

Her name was Evangeline she was the prettiest girl that they’d ever seen

C                      G                                    F                                 Am                  G

Oh how she loved to dance, the boys would line up waiting for their chance  

   F                                                        G

To twirl her around and round, lift her high up off the ground

F                                                                  G

Hand in hand, they’d start to swing, she’d begin to sing:

 

CHORUS:

C

Hey, ho away we go

F                                                 G                 C            G

Play that fiddle and don’t you go too slow, oh no

C                                                          F                      G

Play me one more tune so I can dance by the light             

               C                  G

Of an Acadian Moon

 

SOLO (chorus)

 

VERSE 1:

Gabriel stole her heart and promised her, no one could keep them apart

Together how they loved to dance, and fill up the night with romance

He would twirl her round and round, till her feet were off the ground

Hand in hand, they’d start to swing, she’d begin to sing:

 

CHORUS

SOLO

 

BRIDGE:

Am                                           G                    Am                    F

They called it an Acadian moon ‘cause it was like an old familiar tune

Am                                   G            F                            G

Wherever she would roam, it reminded her of home

 

High up above, the moon shines down on two people in love

Together how they loved to dance and fill up the night with romanceHe would twirl her round and round, till her feet were off the ground

 

Hand in hand, they’d start to swing, she’d begin to sing:
