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