Biography:
Stanley Allison Rogers (November 29, 1949 – June 2, 1983) was a Canadian folk musician and songwriter.
Rogers was noted for his rich, baritone voice and his traditional-sounding songs which were frequently inspired by Canadian history and the daily lives of working people, especially those from the fishing villages of the Maritime provinces and, later, the farms of the Canadian prairies and Great Lakes. Rogers died in a fire aboard Air Canada Flight 797 on the ground at the Greater Cincinnati Airport at the age of 33.

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,

Evangeline, you're what a friend should be.
[Chorus]
Em A
Freedom friend you've found me,

Now love is all around me.

Imagine my surprise, imagine my surprise.

The city streets are no place to hide,

So, Evangeline, I'm coming home to you.
[Chorus]

Freedom friend you've found me,

Imagine my surprise, imagine my surprise.
