[Verse 1]
           C                              G       D
You stood slow, is the way I remember you being
           Am               C
The summer slough, innocent love
                             G          D
Growing hard and strong, and teething
             Am                     C
So when the sky grew dark, like an old glass jar
G                            D
Black dye in the water, as a circle spun
            Am
We were the lucky ones

Bm* C*  D C

[Chorus]
           G      D
When the thunder rolls
                          C
You showed me what a love could bring
         G         D
When the cold wind blows
                       C
Discovered what a love could mean
         G        D                      Am      C   D
When the darkness holds, Oh my sweet Evangeline
                             C      D
You were the wild eyes shining
                             C
You were the wild eyes shining

[Verse 2]
       C                                   G         D
Shiver cold, at the wind and the waterside meeting
            Am
When summer goes
                    C                                         G            D
Do you wave her farewell then sigh towards home, when you can’t keep it
            Am                         C
So when the grass bent down, under the loudest sound
  G                                   D
Of dead silence surrounding, and what was to come
            Am
We were the lucky ones

Gm* C*  D C

[Chorus]
           G     D
When the thunder rolls
                          C
You showed me what a love could bring
         G         D
When the cold wind blows
                       C
Discovered what a love could mean
         G         D                     Am        C   D
When the darkness holds, Oh my sweet Evangeline
                            C    G D
You were the wild eyes shining
                            C   G  D  G
You were the wild eyes shining
