[Intro] Am C Am G [Verse]
Am  
Evelyn sits by the elevator doors 

          C                                          Am
It's been 37 years since James died on St. Patrick's day in 1964 

    G
She could not hold it against him 

           Am                                       C
There were times there was nothing she could do but lie in bed all day 

                         Am                     G                F
Beside a picture of them together, a picture of better days 
[Chorus] And just like James, I’ll be drinking Irish tonight
        G
And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever

F              Am            G
Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight 

         F                      Am
If we're never together, if I'm never back again 

     G
Well I swear to god that I'll love you forever 

F              Am            G
Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight 
Am C Am G [Verse]
   Am                                        C
In all the years that went by she said she'd always love him 

             G                                F
And from the day that he died she never loved again 

       F                      Am
In his wallet she kept in her nightstand 

                   G           F
An A.A. card and a lock of red hair 

                    F                            Am     
She kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart 

                    G                       F
It killed a part of her before the rest was gone. 

              F                           Am
She said, "if I would have known just how things would have ended up 

  G                          F
I just would have let myself die."
[Chorus]
    F                                 Am
And just like James, I’ll be drinking Irish tonight

        G
And the memory of his last work week will be gone forever

F              Am            G
Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight 

         F                      Am
If we're never together, if I'm never back again 

     G
Well I swear to god that I'll love you forever 

F              Am            G
Evelyn I’m not coming home tonight 
F Am G
