A Pair Of Brown Eyes Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][C]
One [G]summer evening, drunk to hell
I [Am]sat there nearly l[C]ifeless
An [G]old man in the corner sang
"Where the [C]Water Lilies [Am]Grow"
And [G]on the jukebox, Johnny sang
A[Am]bout a thing called [C]love
And it's [G]"How are you, [Am]kid?'
and [C]"What's your [G]name?"
And [C]"How'd you bloody [Am]know?

[Verse 2]
In [G]blood and death, 'neath a screaming sky
I [Am]laid down on the [C]ground
And the [G]arms and legs of other men
Were [C]scattered all a[Am]round
Some [G]cursed, some prayed
some prayed, then cursed
Then [Am]prayed, then bled some [C]more
And the [G]only [Am]thing that [C]I could s[G]ee
Was a pair of brown [Am]eyes
that was [C]looking at [G]me
But when we got [Am]back
labeled [C]parts one to [G]three
There was no pair of [Am]brown eyes
[C]waiting for [G]me

[Chorus 1]
And a [G]rovin', a [Am]rovin', a [C]rovin' I'll [G]go
For a [C]pair of brown [Am]eyes

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][C][Am]
[C][C][C][Am]

[Verse 3]
I [G]looked at him, he looked at me
All [Am]I could do was hat[C]e him
While [G]Ray and Philomena sang
Of [C]my elusive [Am]dreams
I [G]saw the streams, the rolling hills
Where [Am]his brown eyes were [C]waiting
And I [G]thought a[Am]bout a [C]pair of brown [G]eyes
That [C]waited once for [Am]me

[Verse 4]
So [G]drunk to hell, I left the place
Sometimes [Am]crawling, sometimes [C]walking
A [G]hungry sound came across the breeze
So I [C]gave the walls a [Am]talking
And I [G]heard the sounds of long ago
[Am]From the old ca[C]nal
And the [G]birds were [Am]whistling [C]in the [G]trees
Where the [C]wind was gently [Am]laughing

[Chorus 2]
And a [G]rovin', a [Am]rovin', a [C]rovin' I'll [G]go
A rovin', a [Am]rovin', a [C]rovin' I'll [G]go
And a rovin', a [Am]rovin', a [C]rovin' I'll [G]go
For a [C]pair of brown [Am]eyes
for a [C]pair of [D]brown [G]eyes

[Interlude 2]
[C][C][C][Am]
[C][C][C][Am]

[Chorus 3]
And a [G]rovin', a [Am]rovin', a [C]rovin' I'll [G]go
And a rovin', a [Am]rovin', a [C]rovin' I'll [G]go
And a rovin', a [Am]rovin', a [C]rovin' I'll [G]go
For a [C]pair of brown [Am]eyes
for a [C]pair of [D]brown [G]eyes
