Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Am]
[C][G][C][G][Am]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Evelyn
sits by the elevator doors
It's [C]been thirty seven years since James
dies on St. [Am]Patrick's Day in 1964
But she [G]could not hold it
against him
There were [Am]times when there was
nothing she could do
But [C]lie in bed all day beside
a picture of [Am]them together
A picture of [G]better days

[Verse 2]
And [F]just like James,
[G]I'll be drinking Irish tonight
And the memory of his last work
week will be gone [F]forever
Evelyn I'm not [Am]coming home [G]to night!
If [F]we're never together
If [Am]I'm never back again
Well I [G]swear to God that I'll love you forever
[F]Evelyn I'm not com[Am]ing
home [G]to night!
[Am]

[Verse 3]
In all the years that went by she said
She'd [C]always love him
And [G]from the day that he died
She never loved again
[F]

[Verse 4]
In his wallet she kept in her [Am]nightstand
An A.A. card and a [G]lock of red [F]hair
She kept secrets of pride
locked so tight in [Am]her heart
It killed a part of [G]her before
the rest was [F]gone.

[Verse 5]
She said, "If [F]I would have known just how t[Am]hings would have ended up,
[G]I just would have let myself [F]die."

[Verse 6]
[F]And just like James,
I'll be drink[Am]ing Irish tonight
And the memory [G]of his last work
week will be gone [F]forever
Evelyn I'm not [Am]coming
home [G]to night!
If we're nev[F]er together
If [Am]I'm never back again
[G]Well I swear to God that I'll
love you [F]forever
Evelyn I'm not [Am]coming
home [G]to night!

[Outro 1]
