Lyrics

You made a fool of me but them bro ken (F#dim7)dreams have got to (C)end.

Hey wom an, you got the (Dm7)blues

(Em)’cause you ain’t got (Em7)no one (Dm7)else to use.

There’s an o pen (Em7)road that (Dm)leads no where, (Em)so just make some (Em7)miles be tween here (Dm)and there.

There’s a (Am)hole in my head where the (Dm7)rain comes in,

you took my (Em7)bod y and (Dm)played to win.

(Am)Ha ha, (Em7)wom an, it’s a (Dm7)cry in’ shame, (Em)but you (Fmaj7)ain’t got (G)no bod y else to blame.

E vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an.

Rolled (Em7)in from an (Dm7)oth er town, (Em)hit some (Am)gold too (Em7)hard to (Dm7)set tle down, but a (Am)fool and his mon ey soon go (Dm7)sep ’rate ways.

And (Am)you found a fool, (Em7)ly in’ in a (Dm)daze.

(Am)Ha ha, (Em7)wom an, what you (Dm7)gon na do?

(Em)You de (Am)stroyed all the vir tues that the (Dm7)Lord gave you.

It’s so (Em7)good that you’re (Dm7)feel in’ pain, (Em)but you (Fmaj7)bet ter get your (G)face on board the (C)ver y next train.

E vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an.

E vil (Em7)wom an, how you (Dm7)done me wrong,

but (Am)now you’re try’n to (Em7)wail a (Dm7)dif f’rent song.

(Am)Ha ha, (Em7)fun ny how you (Dm7)broke me up;

you made the (Em7)wine, now you (Dm7)drink a cup.

I came (Em7)run nin’ ev ’ry (Dm7)time you cried,

thought I (Em7)saw love smil in’ (Dm7)in your eyes.

(Am)Ha ha, ver y (Dm7)nice to know that you (Fmaj7)ain’t got (G)no place (C)left to go.

E vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an.

E vil wom (Dm7)an,

e vil wom (Dm7)an,

About “Evil Woman”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Evil Woman"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature A. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Evil Woman" by Electric Light Orchestra played in?
Evil Woman is arranged in the key of A on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Evil Woman"?
The arrangement plays at 80 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Evil Woman" easy to play on piano?
Yes — this is one of our beginner-friendly arrangements with simplified chords and color-coded notes.
Can I download sheet music for "Evil Woman"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Evil Woman"?

Try "ALL OVER THE WORLD", "ROCKARIA", "DON'T BRING ME DOWN". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Evil Woman" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature A, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 80 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
