Pair of Brown Eyes

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

[Verse]
   D  
In blood and death

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

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

[Chorus]
        D       Em    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    G           D
a rovin' I'll go
        G             Em
For a pair of brown eyes

D Em G D 2x

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

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

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


[Chorus]
        D       Em    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    G           D
a rovin' I'll go
        D       Em    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    G           D
a rovin' I'll go
        D       Em    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    G           D
a rovin' I'll go
        G             Em
For a pair of brown eyes
        G      A      D
For a pair of brown eyes

        D       Em    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    G           D
a rovin' I'll go
        D       Em    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    G           D
a rovin' I'll go
        D       Em    
  And a rovin' a rovin'
    G           D
a rovin' I'll go
        G             Em
For a pair of brown eyes
        G      A      D
For a pair of brown eyes
