Bm                       G
I am the seed of Adam and Eve
            D                             A
That apple didn't fall too far from the tree
         Bm                     G
Well I stole Eve's hand and we ran behind some bushes
    D                   A
To try a more original sin
                  G                  D              A
I said I think I love you Eve, she said call me Evelyn
                   G                 D              A
I said I think I love you Eve, she said call me Evelyn

[Chorus]
             Bm                           G
And I said come on baby why you want to wait
               D                           A
Why don't we start this whole thing over again
  Bm                           G
Come on baby why you want to wait
                  D                           A
You know we can start this whole thing over again
                  G             D            A
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn

[Verse]
          Bm                       G
We were short on rent and got cast out by the landlord
       D                         A
But that don't seem to phase Evelyn
     Bm                          G
I found an empty boxcar and I pulled her on board
            D                         A
We'd get south before the winter set in
                G                D                   A
She runs her fingers over the letters that I carved in
                 G               D          A
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn

[Chorus]
             Bm                           G
And I said come on baby why you want to wait
               D                           A
Why don't we start this whole thing over again
  Bm                           G
Come on baby why you want to wait
                  D                           A
You know we can start this whole thing over again
                  G             D            A
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn

[Verse]
        Bm                               G
We got off in what was Jackson next to Charlie's Bar
                   D                A
And I convinced Charlie to let me play
             Bm                             G
He couldn't pay us no money but he had a place upstairs
          D                 A
Where he let me and Evelyn stay
            G                     D                   A
We like it fine but talk all the time about leaving again
                 G                   D           A
Maybe settling down somewhere like France or Ireland

[Chorus]
             Bm                           G
And I said come on baby why you want to wait
               D                           A
Why don't we start this whole thing over again
  Bm                           G
Come on baby why you want to wait
                  D                           A
You know we can start this whole thing over again
                  G             D            A
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn

[Outro]
              G                    D              A
We'll find a run down shack on a small piece of land
           G                          D               A
And I'll work on the house while you make us our own garden
