Evelyn Acordes

[Intro]
C
 
[Verse]
F                        C
all the tables nice and clean
F           C
Evelyn's asleep
        F                C
on the grave yard shift again
         G
selling gasoline
            F                     C
and there's kids smoking on south first
         F                  Am    G
see high-school was just a blur, for her
  C                                       G
and everything just found their place it seemed
 
[Pre-Chorus]
           Am         F            C    G
there's an old folk song on the radio
        Am      F        C          G
sounding thin and dark and haunted
       Am          F          C                     G
there's a bag of weed in the back beneath the books
         Am                F          C           G
and she can't stand the sight of this cul-de-sac 
              Am        F         C      G
like an old crow, king of the lamp-post
   Am        F            C                      G
and this window hasn't been this clean since it last rained

[Verse]
F                              C
well she pictures up a different day
F                   C
driving west to east L.A
F                        C
and there ain't no sign of a dime, but hey
G                     (Start strumming)
anyone can dream     anyone can dream
 
[Chorus]
C                 F                   Am                    G
and all the college girls come in when the bars let out and they're hungry
C             F             Am                         G
making such a mess, Evelyn just talks trash, as she's sweeping up
 
[Post-chorus]
         Am          F           C          G
there's a thin dark cloud in the evening air
      Am    F    C      G
after every sunny day
    Am          F              C
there's a bum who lives in the parking lot
               G
wash the windows just to say hey.

         F                    C

           G
