[Verse]
D#
One summer evening drunk to hell
Fm G#
I sat there nearly lifeless
D#
An old man in the corner sang
G# Fm
where the waterlilies grow
D#
And on the jukebox Johnny sang
Fm G#
about a thing called love
D# Fm
and it's how are you kid
G# D#
and whats your name
G# Fm
and how would you bloody know
[Verse]
D#
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
Fm G#
I lay down on the ground
D#
And the arms and legs of other men
G# Fm
Were scattered all around
D#
Some cursed some prayed some prayed then cursed
Fm G#
Then prayed and bled some more
D# Fm G# D#
And the only thing that I could see
D# Fm
Was a pair of brown eyes
G# D#
that was looking at me
D# Fm
But when we got back labelled
G# D#
parts one to three
D# Fm
There was no pair of brown eyes
G# D#
waiting for me
[Chorus]
D# Fm G# D#
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
G# Fm
For a pair of brown eyes
D# Fm G# D# 2x
[Verse]
D#
I looked at him he looked at me
Fm G#
All I could do was hate him
D#
While ray and philomena sang
G# Fm
Of my elusive dreams
D#
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Fm G#
Where his brown eyes were waiting
D# Fm G# D#
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
G# Fm
That waited once for me
D#
So drunk to hell I left the place
Fm G#
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
D#
A hungry sound came across the breeze
G# Fm
So I gave the walls a talking
D#
And I heard the sounds of long ago
Fm G#
From the old canal
D# Fm G# D#
And the birds were whistling in the trees
G# Fm
Where the wind was gently laughing
[Chorus]
D# Fm G# D#
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
D# Fm G# D#
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
D# Fm G# D#
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
G# Fm
For a pair of brown eyes
G# A# D#
For a pair of brown eyes
D# Fm G# D#
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
D# Fm G# D#
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
D# Fm G# D#
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
G# Fm
For a pair of brown eyes

For a pair of brown eyes
