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