Pair of Brown Eyes

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

[Verse]
   B  
In blood and death

'neath a screaming sky
  C#m             E
I lay down on the ground
        B
And the arms and legs of other men
     E              C#m
Were scattered all around
     B                  
  Some cursed some prayed
          
some prayed then cursed
     C#m                  E
Then prayed and bled some more

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

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

B C#m E B 2x

[Verse]
      B
I looked at him he looked at me
    C#m               E
All I could do was hate him
      B
While ray and philomena sang
    E          C#m
Of my elusive dreams
   B  
I saw the streams,

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

across the breeze
     E                 C#m
So I gave the walls a talking
      B          
And I heard the sounds of long ago
C#m             E               
From the old canal
     B          C#m 
  And the birds were
         E     B
whistling in the trees
          E               C#m
Where the wind was gently laughing


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

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