These chords fit for some acoustic versions, others may need capo 1
(which would be the same as playing in standard tuning with no capo),
however it's really played in Am, half-step down tuning, with either capo 2 or 3.
[Verse 1]
I Bmam the seed of Adam and EGve
That apple dDidn't fall too far from the trAee
Well I stBmole Eve's hand and we rGan behind some bushes
To tDry a more original sAin
I said I think I lGove you Eve, she saDid call me EvelAyn
I said I think I loGve you Eve, she saDid call me EvelAyn
[Chorus]
And I said coBmme on baby why you want to waGit
Why don't we stDart this whole thing over agAain
CoBmme on baby why you want to waGit
You know we can stDart this whole thing over agAain
These days she lovGes it when I cDall her EvelyAn
[Verse 2]
We were shBmort on rent and got cast Gout by the landlord
But thaDt don't seem to phase EvelAyn
I fouBmnd an empty boxcar and I pulGled her on board
We'd get souDth before the winter set iAn
She runs her finGgers over the letDters that I carved iAn
These days she loGves it when I caDll her EvelAyn
[Chorus]
And I said coBmme on baby why you want to waGit
Why don't we stDart this whole thing over agAain
CoBmme on baby why you want to waGit
You know we can stDart this whole thing over agAain
These days she lovGes it when I cDall her EvelyAn
[Verse 3]
We got oBmff in what was Jackson next to ChGarlie's Bar
And I convinced ChaDrlie to let me plAay
He couldn't pBmay us no money but he had a plaGce upstairs
Where he lDet me and Evelyn sAtay
We like it fGine but talk all the tDime about leaving agAain
Maybe settling doGwn somewhere like FrDance or IrelAand
[Chorus]
And I said coBmme on baby why you want to waGit
Why don't we stDart this whole thing over agAain
CoBmme on baby why you want to waGit
You know we can stDart this whole thing over agAain
These days she lovGes it when I cDall her EvelyAn
[Outro]
We'll find a rGun down shack on a smDall piece of laAnd
And I'll woGrk on the house while you mDake us our own gAarden
