A Pair Of Brown Eyes
Ton : GEnglish
C C
Couplet
One Gsummer evening, drunk to hell
AmI sat there nearCly lifeless
An Gold man in the corner sang
"Where the CWater Lilies AmGrow"
GAnd on the jukebox, Johnny sang
AmAbout a thing called Clove
And it's G"How are you, Amkid?" and C"What's your Gname?"
And C"How'd you bloody Amknow?"
Couplet
In Gblood and death, 'neath a screaming sky
AmI laid down on Cthe ground
And the Garms and legs of other men
Were Cscattered all Amaround
Some Gcursed, some prayed, some prayed, then cursed
Then Amprayed, then bled some Cmore
Refrain
And the Gonly Amthing that CI could Gsee
Was a pair of brown Ameyes that was Clooking at Gme
But when we got Amback, labeled Cparts one to Gthree
There was no pair of Ambrown eyes Cwaiting for Gme
And a rovin', a Amrovin', a Crovin' I'll Ggo
For a Cpair of brown Ameyes

Couplet
GI looked at him, he looked at me
All AmI could do was Chate him
While GRay and Philomena sang
Of Cmy elusive Amdreams
GI saw the streams, the rolling hills
Where Amhis brown eyes were Cwaiting
And I Gthought Amabout a Cpair of brown Geyes
That Cwaited Gonce for Amme
Couplet
So Gdrunk to hell, I left the place
Sometimes Amcrawling, sometimes Cwalking
GA hungry sound came across the breeze
So I Cgave the walls a Amtalking
And I Gheard the sounds of long ago
AmFrom the old caCnal
And the Gbirds were Amwhistling Cin the Gtrees
Where the Cwind was gently Amlaughing
Refrain
And a Grovin', a Amrovin', a Crovin' I'll Ggo
A rovin', a Amrovin', a Crovin' I'll Ggo
And a rovin', a Amrovin', a Crovin' I'll Ggo
For a Cpair of brown Ameyes
For a Cpair of Dbrown Geyes

Refrain
And a Grovin', a Amrovin', a Crovin' I'll Ggo
And a rovin', a Amrovin', a Crovin' I'll Ggo
And a rovin', a Amrovin', a Crovin' I'll Ggo
For a Cpair of brown Ameyes
For a Cpair of Dbrown Geyes
