Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Eva[C] Ma[G]e, [C]I r[G]e member the d[C]ay you
[G]were born; it was [C]the summer.
[G]Your mum and dad called [C]me up to
say how [G]proud [C]they were,
[Am]Voices ringing with [C]the love
of a new born [G]child,
[Am]Lights shining in [C]their eyes,
expectant [G]smiles.[C]

[Verse 2]
[G]Eva Mae, well [C]your father and I have
been friend[G]s for m[C]any years.
[G]We've watched the world
[C]around us change,
Hoped our [G]hopes, feared [C]our fears.
[Am]He asked me to w[C]atch you as you grow,
[G]To [Am]hold your hand through [C]the highs
and lift you up from [G]the lows.

[Verse 3]
[G]Now [Em]Eva Mae,
don't [C]you judge me too hard,
I tried [G]to be a good man, to
do the best [D]with what I've got.
Eva [Em]Mae, I [C]will teach you what I know,
And watch [D]over you everywhere
that you go.
[G][C][G]

[Verse 4]
[C]
[G]Eva Mae, I have made [C]many
mis[G]takes in [C]my time,
[G]Burned my share [C]of bridges and broken [G]hearts,
I've [C]told lies.
[Am]I have not always[C]
followed my own advice.
[G]I'v[Am]e fallen flat,
[C]but Eva darling sometimes that's [G]just life.[C][G]

[Verse 5]
Eva Mae, with [C]the way that I am I
might [G]not much be [C]around,
[G]But I'll stop in from [C]time to time to
[G]share the things [C]I've learned:
[Am]That you should keep your friends [C]an d family close,
And you should always, always,
always, always try to say [G]"yes".
[Am]That we can none of us ever be p[C]erfect,
But Eva darling we can [G]try our best.

[Verse 6]
[G]Now [Em]Eva Mae,
I [C]won't ever judge you hard,
Just try [G]to be a good girl and do [D]the best
with what you've got.
And Eva [Em]Mae,
I [C]will teach you what I know,
And watch [D]over [C]you everywhere you go.
