Pair of Brown Eyes

[Verse]
      F#
One summer evening drunk to hell
   G#m               B
I sat there nearly lifeless
     F#
An old man in the corner sang
            B           G#m
where the waterlilies grow
     F#
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
  G#m                  B
about a thing called love
          F#           G#m
and it's how are you kid
      B          F#
and whats your name
     B                    G#m
and how would you bloody know

[Verse]
   F#  
In blood and death

'neath a screaming sky
  G#m             B
I lay down on the ground
        F#
And the arms and legs of other men
     B              G#m
Were scattered all around
     F#                  
  Some cursed some prayed
          
some prayed then cursed
     G#m                  B
Then prayed and bled some more

     F#     G#m      
  And the only thing
   B        F#
that I could see
        F#           G#m
Was a pair of brown eyes
         B          F#
that was looking at me
     F#             G#m
But when we got back labelled
    B        F#
parts one to three
        F#             G#m
There was no pair of brown eyes
     B        F#
waiting for me

[Chorus]
        F#       G#m    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    B           F#
a rovin' I'll go
        B             G#m
For a pair of brown eyes

F# G#m B F# 2x

[Verse]
      F#
I looked at him he looked at me
    G#m               B
All I could do was hate him
      F#
While ray and philomena sang
    B          G#m
Of my elusive dreams
   F#  
I saw the streams,

the rolling hills
      G#m                  B
Where his brown eyes were waiting
      F#         G#m  
  And I thought about
   B             F#
a pair of brown eyes
     B               G#m
That waited once for me
   F#
So drunk to hell I left the place
          G#m       
  Sometimes crawling
          B
sometimes walking
    F#  
A hungry sound came

across the breeze
     B                 G#m
So I gave the walls a talking
      F#          
And I heard the sounds of long ago
G#m             B               
From the old canal
     F#          G#m 
  And the birds were
         B     F#
whistling in the trees
          B               G#m
Where the wind was gently laughing


[Chorus]
        F#       G#m    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    B           F#
a rovin' I'll go
        F#       G#m    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    B           F#
a rovin' I'll go
        F#       G#m    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    B           F#
a rovin' I'll go
        B             G#m
For a pair of brown eyes
        B      C#      F#
For a pair of brown eyes

        F#       G#m    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    B           F#
a rovin' I'll go
        F#       G#m    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    B           F#
a rovin' I'll go
        F#       G#m    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    B           F#
a rovin' I'll go
        B             G#m
For a pair of brown eyes
        B      C#      F#
For a pair of brown eyes
