[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
C# D#m F# C# 2x
[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
