[verse: 1]
                    Am7	
I think back to the time
Am7
When I first saw your face
                            Dm7
You were walking across the delta
                          Am7                 
To your cold and lonely place
                               C 
You know, I took you for a small girl
                    E
Really not quite seventeen
                     Dm7
Oh, Lord, but I was wrong, oh so wrong
                               Am7 
You're like a woman I've never seen

[:] 2 x riff 

[verse: 2]
                Am7	
Dark eyed Cajun woman
Am7
Where are you coming from
                     Dm7
Your soul is in the back woods
                          Am7                 
They say you never had a home
                         C 
But I'm gonna know you better
                          E
If it takes all night and day
                 Dm7
Dark eyed Cajun woman
                  Am7 
You'll never get away, no, no

[bridge:]
        F
Now the evening is blowing
                  Am7
I hear your voice most everywhere
      F
Your cold, black eyes

They are dancing in the starlight
Am7
Warming the cold night air
           G                          E   
It's so beautiful, you know I have to say

[:] 1 x riff

Now the evening is blowing

Your cold, black eyes

They are dancing in the starlight
Am7
Warming the cold night air

It's so beautiful, you know I have to say
