Cathie Ryan - Eveline
Capo 3
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
It's early Sunday morning, her father's fast asleep
D Am Em D
She's staring out the window at the dark and lonely street
G
Put the kettle on the fire, wake the children up for mass
D Am Em
His drunken cursing last night means another week has passed
Am D
The next will be the same
[Chorus]
G
It's alright, Eveline, let the ship sail away
Am D
Hold on to the railing and cry
G
It won't be the last one, I promise you that
D Em
He's only telling you lies
D G
He's only telling you lies
[Verse 2]
Where is you sailor, Evy? Are you killed with regret?
D Am Em D
Didn't he know your heart then? Did he make you forget
G
That you have always seen yourself in your father's bitter eyes?
D Am Em
Your mother willed her life to you long before she died
Am D
Her madness calls your name
[Chorus]
G
It's alright, Eveline, let the ship sail away
Am D
Hold on to the railing and cry
G
It won't be the last one, I promise you that
D Em
They're only telling you lies
D G
They're only telling you lies
[Instrumental]
G D Am Em
[Bridge]
Am Em Am Em
Deravaun seraun, deravaun seraun
D Em
Take her hand (take her life)
D Em
Take her hand (take her life)
Am Em Am Em D
Deravaun seraun, deravaun seraun Eveline
[Verse 3]
G
I knew you were no fiction when he left you on the shore
D Am Em D
Living out the legacy, the guilt of wanting more
G
Waiting for a ship to come, praying for strength to leap
D Am Em
Those leaps are terrifying, the small steps make us free
Am D
The small steps make us free
[Chorus]
G
It's alright, Eveline, let the ship sail away
Am D
Hold on to the railing and cry
G
It won't be the last one, I promise you that
D Em
They're only telling you lies
D Em
They're only telling you lies
D C G
They're only telling you lies
