A Pair Of Brown Eyes

(intro) Dm F Dm F Dm F G C

              C                                                 Dm                      F
    One summer’s evening drunk as hell, I sat there nearly lifeless,
          C                                                          Dm               G
    an old man in the corner sang, where the water lilies grow.
C                                                    Dm                        F
    On the jukebox Johnny sang, about a thing called love.
C                         F       G                       C          F           Dm          F
    "How are you kid?        What's your name? And what do you know?"

            C                                                            Dm                         F
    In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky, I lay down on the ground,
            C                                                   Dm                  G
    the arms and legs of other men, were scattered all around.
                 C
    Some prayed and cursed, then cursed and prayed,
            Dm                                 F
    and then they prayed some more,
                 C      F          G            C
    but the only thing that I could see,
                C                    F                      G             C
    was a pair of brown eyes they were looking at me.
         C                G                    F                   C
    When we got back, labeled parts one to three,
                      C               G                F
    there was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me.

            C         F           G          C
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,
          F   Dm           F              Dm  G             C
for a pair of brown eyes, for a pair of brown eyes.

        C                                                 Dm                      F
    I looked at him, he looked at me, all I could do was hate him,
                C                                         Dm                G
    while Ray and Philomena sang, of my elusive dream.
        C
    I saw the streams and the rolling hills,
              Dm                               F
    where his brown eyes were waiting,
                 C           F        G          C
    and I thought about a pair of brown eyes,
              F      Dm         F            Dm       G          C
    that waited once for me, that waited once for me.

            C
    So drunk as hell I left that place,
                       Dm                             F
    sometimes walking, sometimes crawling.
         C                                                            Dm                     F
    A hungry sound came on the breeze, so I gave the walls a talking.
                C                                              Dm                         F
    And I heard the sounds of long ago,         from the old canal.
                   C                 F         G          C
    And the birds were whistling in the trees,
                F            Dm      F
    as the wind was gently laughing.

            C          F          G          C
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,
    C          G          F           C
a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go.
            C          G         F           C
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,
          F   Dm           F              Dm  G             C
for a pair of brown eyes, for a pair of brown eyes.
