A Pair Of Brown Eyes
Ton : GEnglish
C C
OneG summer evening, drunk to hell
AmI sat there nearlCy lifeless
AnG old man in the corner sang
"Where theC Water LiliesAm Grow"
GAnd on the jukebox, Johnny sang
AmAbout a thing calledC love
And it's G"How are you,Am kid?' and C"What's yourG name?"
And C"How'd you bloodyAm know?"
InG blood and death, 'neath a screaming sky
AmI laid down on thCe ground
And theG arms and legs of other men
WereC scattered all Amaround
SomeG cursed, some prayed, some prayed, then cursed
ThenAm prayed, then bled someC more
And theG onlyAm thing thatC I couldG see
Was a pair of brownAm eyes that wasC looking atG me
But when we got bAmack, labeledC parts one toG three
There was no pair ofAm brown eyesC waiting forG me
And a rovin', aAm rovin', aC rovin' I'llG go
For aC pair of brownAm eyes

GI looked at him, he looked at me
AllAm I could do wasC hate him
WhileG Ray and Philomena sang
OfC my elusiveAm dreams
GI saw the streams, the rolling hills
WhereAm his brown eyes wereC waiting
And IG thought Amabout aC pair of brownG eyes
ThatC waitedG once forAm me
SoG drunk to hell, I left the place
SometimesAm crawling, sometimesC walking
GA hungry sound came across the breeze
So IC gave the walls aAm talking
And IG heard the sounds of long ago
AmFrom the old caCnal
And theG birds wereAm whistlingC in theG trees
Where theC wind was gentlyAm laughing
And aG rovin', aAm rovin', aC rovin' I'llG go
A rovin', aAm rovin', aC rovin' I'llG go
And a rovin', aAm rovin', aC rovin' I'llG go
For aC pair of brownAm eyes
For a Cpair ofD brownG eyes

And aG rovin', aAm rovin', aC rovin' I'llG go

And a rovin', aAm rovin', aC rovin' I'llG go
For aC pair of brownAm eyes
