Flyn' across the desert in the TWA 

        E
I saw a woman walking across the sand 

                               A
She'd been walkin' 30 miles en route to Bombay

Way back in history 3000 years

There's been a whole lotta good women shedding tears

Well, the beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind 

         E
'tween a doctor and a lawyer man 

                               A
Her mother told her, "Darlin', go out

                    B                   E
And find yourself a brown-eyed handsome man

That's what your daddy is, a brown-eyed handsome man."

Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass,

            E
She had the world in the palm of her hand, 

                                A
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match 

         B                   E
To get a brown-eyed handsome man 

                             A          B        E
She fought and won herself a brown-eyed handsome man

Two, three, the count with nobody on

He hit a high fly into the stand

                       A
Round the third he was headin' for home 

         B                   E
He was a brown-eyed handsome man 

                           A          B        E
That won the game, he was a brown-eyed handsome man
