;A Pair Of Brown Eyes
;The Pogues
 
 
.    D
 One summer evening drunk to hell
.  Em               G
 I sat there nearly lifeless
.   D
 An old man in the corner sang
.          G            Em
 Where the water lilies grow
.    D
 And on the jukebox Johnny sang
. Em                  G
 About a thing called love
.         D           Em      G           D
 And it’s how are you kid and what’s your name
.    Em                   G
 And how would you bloody know
 
 
.   D
 In blood and death ‘neath a screaming sky
.  Em              G
 I lay down on the ground
.        D
 And the arms and legs of other men
.     G              Em
 Were scattered all around
.     D
 Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed
.     Em                    G
 Then prayed then bled some more
.        D    Em         G       D
 And the only thing that I could see
.      D             Em            G          D
 Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
.    D           Em             G            D
 But when we got back, labelled parts one to three
.          D          Em         G           D
 There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
 
 
[Chorus]
.      D        Em       G           D
 And a rovin’ a rovin’ a rovin’ I’ll go
.      G             Em
 For a pair of brown eyes
.G    Em

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