Capo VI

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

[Verse]
   C#
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
  D#m             F#
I lay down on the ground
        C#
And the arms and legs of other men
     F#              D#m
Were scattered all around
     C#                           
Some cursed some prayed some prayed then cursed
     D#m                  F#
Then prayed and bled some more

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

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

[Verse]
      C#
I looked at him he looked at me
    D#m               F#
All I could do was hate him
      C#
While ray and philomena sang
    F#          D#m
Of my elusive dreams
   C#
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
      D#m                  F#
Where his brown eyes were waiting
      C#         D#m    F#             C#
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
     F#               D#m
That waited once for me
   C#
So drunk to hell I left the place
          D#m                F#
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
    C#
A hungry sound came across the breeze
     F#                 D#m
So I gave the walls a talking
      C#          
And I heard the sounds of long ago
D#m             F#               
From the old canal
     C#          D#m         F#     C#
And the birds were whistling in the trees
          F#               D#m
Where the wind was gently laughing


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

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