Standard

# Evelyn Evelyn ? Written by Evelyn Evelyn, Amanda Palmer, and Jason Webley

# The Cadd9 chord could probably just be played with a C major instead, but I liked # the more muted sound.

# All done on A string:
# Pluck the A string and hold down the following frets:
# 1, 5, 12, just above 12, 12, 9, 10, 6
# 1, 5, 12, just above 12, 12, 9, 10
