G Am C
One summer evening drunk to hell I stood there nearly lifeless
G C Am
An old man in the corner sang where the water lilies grow
G Am C
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
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
Am C
I lay down on the ground
G C Am
And the arms and legs of other men were scattered all around
G
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed
Am C
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
I looked at him he looked at me all I could do was hate him
G C Am
While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dream
G
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Am C
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
So drunk to hell I left the place
Am C
sometimes crawling sometimes walking
G
A hungry sound came across
C Am
the breeze so I gave the walls a talking
G Am C
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
