A PAIR OF BROWN EYES CHORDS

[Start]

[Verse]
C G                               
 One summer evening drunk to hell
  Am               C       
I sat there nearly lifeless
   G                           
An  old man in the corner sang
          C            Am  
Where the water lilies grow
G                             
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
Am                   C   
About a thing called love
         G           Am      C           G   
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
C                        Am  
And how would you bloody know
G                                        
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
Am                C     
I lay down on the ground
        G                         
And the arms and legs of other men
     C             Am    
Were scattered all around


[Chorus]
     G                                         
Some cursed some prayed some prayed then cursed
Am                        C   
Then prayed and bled some more
        G    Am         C         G  
And the only thing that  I could see
                    Am        C              G 
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
                Am           C            G    
But when we got back labeled parts one to three
                     Am         C           G 
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
               Am       C           G 
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
      C             Am  
For a pair of brown eyes

[Verse]
G                              
I looked at him he looked at me
Am                 C       
All I could do was hate him
G                           
While Ray and Philomena sang
   C          Am    
Of my elusive dreams
  G                                
I saw the streams the rolling hills
      Am                  C      
Where his brown eyes were waiting
      G       Am      C             G   
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
C                    Am
That waited once for me
   G                             
So drunk to hell I left the place
Am                           C      
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
  G                                  
A hungry sound came across the breeze
   C                  Am     
So I gave the walls a talking
      G                           
And I heard the sounds of long ago
Am           C    
From the old canal
        G          Am        C      G    
And the birds were whistling in the trees
          C               Am      
Where the wind was gently laughing


[Chorus]
      G        Am       C           G 
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
               Am       C           G 
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
               Am     Am7 C           G 
And a rovin' a rovin' a   rovin' I'll go
      C             Am  
For a pair of brown eyes
      C       D     G   
For a pair of brown eyes

[Chorus]
      G        Am       C           G 
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
               Am       C           G 
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
               Am       C           G 
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
      C             Am  
For a pair of brown eyes
      C       D     G   
For a pair of brown eyes
