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

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,

Where[C] the wind was gently[Am] laughing.

|Know that [Am] it would make me more than [F] sad,
|Caledonia's been [G] everything I've ever [C] had.
Verse 2:
Now [C] I have moved and I’ve [G] kept on moving,
[Am] Proved the points that I [F] needed proving,
[C] Lost the friends that [G] needed losing,
[Am] Found others on the [F] way.
[C] I've have tried [G] and kept on trying
[Am] Stolen dreams, yes there's [F] no denying,
[C] I've travelled hard, with [G] conscience flying,
[Am] Somewhere in the [F] wind.
Chorus:
Verse 3:
Now I'm [C] sitting here be [G] fore the fire,
[Am]The empty room, the [F] forest choir,
The [C] flames that could not get [G] any higher,
They've [Am] withered now they’re [F] gone.
But I'm [C] steady thinking my [G] way is clear,
And [Am] I know what I will [F] do tomorrow,
When [C] hands are shaken, and the [G] kisses flow,
Then [Am] I will dis [F] appear.
Chorus:

[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

[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
