D
Flying 'cross the desert in a TWA
I saw a woman walking 'cross the sand
                                    G
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to L.A.

         A                    D
To get a brown eyed handsome man

                      C/G                  D
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man
[Verse 2]
D
Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
She had the world in the palm of her hand
                                G
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match

         A                    D
To get a brown eyed handsome man

                             C/G                  D
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years

     F                       D
Back ever since the world began

There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear

For a brown eyed handsome man

Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
                          A
Mama told her daughter to go out and find yourself

Arrested on charges of unemployment
He was sitting in the witness stand
                               A
The judge's wife called up the district attorney

         B                     E
Said you free that brown eyed man

                             D                     E
You want your job you better free that brown eyed man
