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 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 []
