Tampere Irish Sessions
A Pair of Brown Eyes
The Pogues
One[G] summer evening drunk to hell I [Am] sat there nearly [C] lifeless,
An [G] old man in the corner sang where the [C] water lilies [Am] grow,
And [G] on the juke box Johnny sang[Am] about a thing called [C] love,
And it's [G] how are you [Am] kid, [C] what’s your [G] name,
And [C] how would you bloody [Am] know.
In [G] blood and death 'neath the screaming sky,
I [Am] lay 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 [C] prayed then [G] cursed,
Then [C] prayed and bled some [Am] more,
And the [G] only thing that [Am] I could [C] see,
Was a [G] pair of brown [Am] eyes that were [C] looking at [G] me,
But when we got [Am] back labelled [C] parts one to [G] three,
[G] There was no [Am] pair of brown eyes [C] waiting for [G] me.
[G] And a rovin' a [Am] rovin' a [C] rovin' I'll [G] go,
For a [C] pair of brown [Am] eyes
Chorus:
And [G] a rovin, a [Am] rovin a [C] rovin I'll [G] go
And [G] a rovin, a [Am] rovin a [C] rovin I'll [G] go
And [G] 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
Instrumental: [C] [C] [Am] [C] [C][C] [D] [G]
I [G] looked at him he looked at me,all I [Am] could do was [C] hate him,
While [G] Ray and Philomena sang of [C] my elusive [Am] dreams,
I [G] saw the streams the rolling hills, [Am] where his brown eyes were [C] waiting,
And I [G] thought[Am] about a[C] pair of brown [G] eyes that [C] waited once for[Am] me.
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 sound of long ago, [Am] from the old [C] canal,
And the[G] birds were[Am] whistling[C] in the[G] trees,
Where[C] the wind was gently[Am] laughing.

So come all you jolly young fellows
I’ll have you take warning from me

Till you are not able to stand
And before you have time to leave her
She’ll land you in Van Diemen’s Land.

Fairytale Of New York - The Pogues
Intro: Violin/Melodica/Tin Whistle
[Verse 1 (Gentle strumming)]
It was Christmas [D] Eve babe… in the [G] drunk tank
An old man [D] said to me… won’t see an[G]other one [A]
And then he [D] sang a song… The Rare Old [G] Mountain Dew
I turned my [D] face away… and [G] dreamed a[A]bout [D] you [A]
Got on a [D] lucky one… came in eight[G]een to one...
I’ve got a [D] feeling… this year’s for [A] me and you [A7]
So happy [D] Christmas… I love you [G] baby
I can see a [D] better time… when all [G] our [A] dreeaams come [D*] true
[Slow violin break]
[G] [A] [D] [G] [A]..
[Fast violin part]
[D] [D] [D] [A] [D] [G] [A] [D]....
[Verse 2 (Girls)] They’ve got [D] cars big as bars… they’ve got rivers of [G] gold
But the [D] wind goes right through you… it’s no place for the [A] old
When you [D] first took my [A] hand… on that [D] cold Christmas [G] Eve
You [D] promised me Broadway was [A] waiting for [D] me
[Verse 3] You were [D] handsome, [Guys] you were pretty… Queen of New York [A] City
[Everyone] When the [D] band finished [G] playing they [A] howled out for [D] more
Si[D]natra was swinging… all the drunks they were [A] singing
We [D] kissed on the [G] corner then [A] danced through the [D] night
|[Chorus] And the [G] boys of the NYPD choir… were [D] singing Galway [Bm] Bay
|And the [D] bells were [G] ringing [A] out… for Christmas [D] Day.

[Verse 4 (Girls)] You’re a [D] bum, you’re a punk [Guys] you’re an old slut on [G] junk
Lying [D] there almost [G] dead… on a [A] drip in that [D] bed
[Girls] You [D] scumbag, you maggot, you're cheap and you're [A] haggard
Happy [D] Christmas your [G] arse, I pray [A] God it’s our [D] last
|[Chorus][Everyone] And the [G] boys of the NYPD choir… were [D] singing Galway [Bm] Bay
|And the [D] bells were [G] ringing [A] out… for Christmas [D] Day
[Instrumental] [D] [G] [D] [A] [A7]
[Verse 5 (Gentle ukes ...)]
[Guys] I could have [D] been someone… [Girls] well so could [G] anyone...
You took my [D] dreams from me… when I first [A] found you
[Guys] I kept them [D] with me babe I put them [G] with my own
Can’t make it [D] all alone, I’ve built my [G] dreams a-[A]round [D] you [getting loud]
