Pints Of Guinness Make You Strong

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
