EVIL WOMAN (by ELO)

(C7) You made a fool of me, (F7)but them broken dreams have got to (C)end

(Am)Hey woman(Em), you got(Dm7) the blues 
(Em)Cos' you ain't (Am)got no(Em)one else (Dm7)to use
(Em)There's an (Am)open road(Em) that leads(Dm7) nowhere 
(Em)So just (Am)make some miles(Em) between (Dm7)here and there

(Em)There's a (Am)hole in my (Em)head where the (Dm7)rain comes in
(Em) You (Am) took my (Em)body and (Dm7)played to win
(Em) Ha(Am) Ha (Em)woman it's a (Dm7)cryin' shame
(Em)But you (Fmaj7)ain't got (G)nobody else to (C)blame

CHORUS:  (Am-) Evil(Em) Woman (Dm7) (-Em)     }  4x

Rolled in from another town
Hit some gold too hot to settle down
But a fool and his money soon go separate ways
And you found a fool lyin' in a daze
Ha Ha woman what you gonna do
You destroyed all the virtues that the Lord gave you
It's so good that you're feelin' pain
But you better get your face on board the very next train

- CHORUS

Evil woman how you done me wrong
But now you're tryin' to wail a different song
Ha Ha funny how you broke me up 
You made the wine now you drink the cup
I came runnin' every time you cried
Thought I saw love smilin' in your eyes
Ha Ha woman very nice to know 
That you ain't got no place left to go

1. Hello ELO-friends! This is how I play Evil Woman. The song is written by
Jeff Lynne and appears on the album Face the Music. In this guitar
arrangement it can sound real funky. Enjoy!

2. This version: 19-nov'97. 
Improvements and suggestions welcome!
