Verse 1
(C major) (C major)
One (G major) summer evening, drunk to hell
I (A minor7) sat there nearly (C major) lifeless
An old (G major) man in the corner sang
"Where the (C major) Water Lilies (A minor7) Grow"
And (G major) on the jukebox, Johnny sang
A (A minor7) bout a thing called (C major) love
And it's (G major) "How are you, (A minor7) kid?'
and (C major) "What's your name?" (G major)
And (C major) "How'd you bloody (A minor7) know?
Verse 2
In (G major) blood and death, 'neath a screaming sky
I (A minor7) laid down on the ground (C major)
And the arms (G major) and legs of other men
Were (C major) scattered all around (A minor7)
Some (G major) cursed, some prayed
some prayed, then cursed
Then (A minor7) prayed, then bled some more (C major)
And the (G major) only thing (A minor7) that I (C major) could (G major) see
Was a pair of brown (A minor7) eyes
that was (C major) looking at (G major) me
But when we got back (A minor7)
labeled (C major) parts one to (G major) three
There was no pair of (A minor7) brown eyes
(C major) waiting for me (G major)

Verse 3
I (G major) looked at him, he looked at me
All (A minor7) I could do was (C major) hate him
While (G major) Ray and Philomena sang
Of (C major) my elusive (A minor7) dreams
I saw (G major) the streams, the rolling hills
Where his (A minor7) brown eyes were (C major) waiting
And I (G major) thought about (A minor7) a pair (C major) of brown (G major) eyes
That (C major) waited once for me (A minor7)
Verse 4
So (G major) drunk to hell, I left the place
Sometimes (A minor7) crawling, sometimes (C major) walking
A hun (G major) gry sound came across the breeze
So I (C major) gave the walls a (A minor7) talking
And I (G major) heard the sounds of long ago
(A minor7) From the old canal (C major)
And the birds (G major) were (A minor7) whistling (C major) in the trees (G major)
Where the (C major) wind was gently (A minor7) laughing
Chorus 2
And a (G major) rovin', a (A minor7) rovin', a (C major) rovin' I'll (G major) go
A rovin', a (A minor7) rovin', a (C major) rovin' I'll (G major) go
And a rovin', a (A minor7) rovin', a (C major) rovin' I'll (G major) go
For a (C major) pair of brown eyes (A minor7)
for a pair (C major) of (D major) brown eyes (G major)
