A Pair of Brown Eyes

D Em G One summer evening drunk to hell I sat there nearly lifeless, D G Em An old man in the corner sang where the water lilies grow, D Em G And on the juke box Johnny sang about a thing called love, D Em G D And it's how are you kid,whats your name, G Em And how would you bloody know. 2 D In blood and death 'neath the 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 G D Some cursed some prayed some prayed then cursed, G Em Then prayed and bled some more, D Em G And the only thing that I could see, D Em G D Was a pair of brown eyes that were looking at me, Em G D But when we got back labelled parts one to three, Em G D There was no pair of brown eyes lookin at me. Em G D And a rovin'a rovin'a rovin'I'll go, G Em For a pair of brown eyes. I looked at him he looked at me,all I could do was hate him, While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dreams, I saw the streams the rolling hils,where his brown eyes were waiting, And I thought about a pair of brown eyes that waited once for me. So drunk to hell I left the place sometimes crawling sometimes walking, A hungry sound came across the breeze so I gave the walls a talking. And I heard the sound of long ago,from the old canal, And the birds were whistling in the trees, Where the wind was gently laughing. D Em G D G D And a rovin,a rovin a rovin I'll go for a pair of brown eyes, G D For a pair of brown eyes.
