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.
