Pair of Brown Eyes

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

[Verse]
   E  
In blood and death

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

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

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

E F#m A E 2x

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

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

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


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

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