Verse
------
 
Bm     A        G                   D
   Red shoes go sailing through the trees
           G         D
Leaving no traces at all
           G
Not even a scatter in the leaves
A
Reflections are only memories
 
Chorus
-------
 
Em         D/F#
Evergreen, lay down beside me
G          A
Evergreen, Evergreen
Bm         G
Evergreen, make me feel whole again
D                  A
Help me undo these chains, my love
G                    D                   A
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
G              D         A
Evergreen, Evergreen, my love, my love

Verse
------
 
Bm             A       G              D
   It might be easy to judge all that kindness
   G             D                 A                      A|-5--4--2--
If you had grown accustomed to the darkness in the light
Bm            A                  G             D
   But certainly any room with a view of other windows
          G
Must have doors that you can use
              A
So you can be happy for the first time in your live
G                               A (it goes on until the chorus)
Amen, it's your destiny, it can start any time
And maybe you'll find someone
To lay some roots down next to you
More like the trees and less like the clouds
Stop moving around so much
 
Chorus
-------
 
Em         D/F#
Evergreen, lay down beside me
G          A
Evergreen, Evergreen
Bm         G
Evergreen, make me feel whole again
D                  A
Help me undo these chains, my love
Em         D/F#
Evergreen, lay down beside me
G          A
Evergreen, Evergreen
Bm         G
Evergreen, make me feel whole again
D                  A
Help me undo these chains, my love
G                    D                   A
Evergreen never says nothing that's mean
G              D         A
Evergreen, Evergreen, my love, my love
 
End on the intro riff
 
tips: use lots of hammer ons, you can freely throw in the fourth when you're on the A,
and in the long A section in the second verse you can alternate between A and A7 to give the
part a subtle movement.
always listen to the song and check for timing and mistakes (I'm pretty confident it's
correct, but hey, you never know :D )
delicious song from a very good record.
