The Pogues – A Pair Of Brown Eyes (Guitar)

    G                               Am                C/G
One summer evening drunk to hell, I sat there nearly lifeless

    G                                    C/G           Am
An old man in the corner sang "Where the Water Lilies Grow"

    G                             Am              C/G
And on the jukebox Johnny sang about a thing called love

          G          Am        C          G
And it's how are you kid and what's your name

     C                    Am
And how would you bloody know?

   G                                        Am                 C/G
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky I lay down on the ground

        G                               C/G               Am
And the arms and legs of other men were scattered all around

     G                                                  Am                    C/G
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed, then prayed and bled some more

        G     Am        C        G
And the only thing that I could see

       G             Am              C       G
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me

     G           Am             C            G
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three

          G           Am          C         G
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me

       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
I looked at him, he looked at me, all I could do was hate him

      G                         C/G          Am
While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dream

  G                                        Am                     C/G
I saw the streams, the rolling hills 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                                         Am                  C/G
So drunk to hell I left the place, sometimes crawling, sometimes walking

  G                                        C/G                Am
A hungry sound came across the breeze so I gave the walls a talking

      G                             Am            C/G
And I heard the sounds of long ago from the old canal

        G           Am       C       G
And the birds were whistling in the trees

           C                Am
Where the wind was gently laughing

       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
