Apair Of Brown Eyes

one [ D ] summer evening drunk to hell i [ Em ] sat there nearly [ G ] lifeless , an [ D ] old man in the corner sang where the [ G ] water lilies [ Em ] grow , and [ D ] on the juke box johnny sang [ Em ] about a thing called [ G ] love , and it’s [ D ] how are you [ Em ] kid , [ G ] whats your [ D ] name , and [ G ] how would you bloody [ Em ] know . [ 2 ] in [ D ] blood and death ’neath the screaming sky , i [ Em ] lay down on the [ G ] ground , and the [ D ] arms and legs of other men , were [ G ] scattered all A [ Em ] round , some [ D ] cursed some prayed some [ G ] prayed then [ D ] cursed , then [ G ] prayed and bled some [ Em ] more , and the [ D ] only thing that [ Em ] i could [ G ] see , was A [ D ] pair of brown [ Em ] eyes that were [ G ] looking at [ D ] me , but when we got [ Em ] back labelled [ G ] parts one to [ D ] three , there was no [ Em ] pair of brown eyes [ G ] lookin at [ D ] me . and a rovin’a [ Em ] rovin’a [ G ] rovin’i’ll [ D ] go , for A [ G ] pair of brown [ Em ] eyes . i looked at him he looked at me , all i could do was hate him , while ray and philomena sang of my elusive dreams , i saw the streams the rolling hils , where his brown eyes were waiting , and i thought about a pair of brown eyes that waited once for me . so drunk to hell i left the place sometimes crawling sometimes walking , a hungry sound came across the breeze so i gave the walls a talking . and i heard the sound of long ago , from the old canal , and the birds were whistling in the trees , where the wind was gently laughing . and [ D ] a rovin , A [ Em ] rovin A [ G ] rovin i’ll [ D ] go for A [ G ] pair of brown [ D ] eyes , for A [ G ] pair of brown [ D ] eyes .
