This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

===============================================================================
Am C Am G
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
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
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."
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
