Verse 1
(C major) One summer evening drunk as hell
I sat (D minor) there nearly (F major) lifeless.
An (C major) old man in the corner sang,
(D minor) Where the water lilies grow. (G major)
(C major) On the jukebox Johnny sang,
(D minor) About a thing called (F major) love.
And (C major) it's "how are you kid? (F major)
(G major) What's (C major) your name?
And (F major) what (D minor) do you know?" (F major)
Verse 2
In (C major) blood and death
'neath a screaming sky
I lay (D minor) down on the ground. (F major)
The (C major) arms and legs of other
men
Were scattered (D minor) all around. (G major)
Some (C major) prayed and cursed,
then cursed and prayed
And (D minor) then they prayed some more. (F major)
And the (C major) only thing (F major) that (G major) I could see, (C major)
Was a pair of brown (F major) eyes they
(G major) were looking at (C major) me.
When we got back (G major) ,
labeled parts (F major) one to three, (C major)
There was no fairer brown (G major)
eyes wait (F major) ing for me.

Verse 3
And a (C major) rovin' a (F major) rovin' a
(G major) rovin' I'll (C major) go,
A rovin' a rovin' (G major) a (F major) rovin' I'll (C major) go,
And a rovin' a rovin' (G major) a (F major) rovin' I'll go,
(C major) For a pair (F major) (D minor) of brown (F major) eyes,
For a pair (G major) of brown (C major) eyes.
Verse 4
I looked at him he looked at me,
(D minor) All I could do was hate (F major) him.
While (C major) Ray and Philomena sang,
Of (D minor) my elusive dream. (G major)
I saw (C major) the streams and the rolling hills,
Where (D minor) his brown eyes were waiting.
(F major) And I (C major) thought (F major) about a pair (G major)
of brown (C major) eyes,
That waited (F major) (D minor) once for me, (F major) (D minor)
That (F major) waited (G major) once for (C major) me.
Verse 5
So drunk (C major) as hell I left the place,
Some (D minor) times walking, sometimes (F major) crawling.
A (C major) hungry sound came through the breeze,
So I (D minor) gave the walls a talk (F major) ing.
And I (C major) heard the sounds of long ago,
(D minor)
From the old canal. (F major)
And the (C major) birds were whistling (F major)
in (G major) the trees, (C major)
Where the (F major) wind was (D minor) gently
laugh (F major) ing.
Verse 6
And a rovin' (C major) a (F major) rovin' a (G major) rovin' I'll (C major) go,
A rovin' a (G major) rovin' a (F major) (C major) rov (G major) in' (F major) I'll go,
(C major) And a (F major) (D minor) rov (F major) (D minor) (F major) in' (G major) (C major) a rovin' a (F major) rovin' (G major) I'll (C major) go,
(G major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (F major) (C major)
For a pair (F major) (D minor) of brown (F major) eyes,
(D minor) For a (F major) pair (G major) (C major) of
brown eyes.
