A Pair of Brown Eyes [G]The Pogues

OneG 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 sangAm 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 aAmround,
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 CC 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 thoughtAm about aC pair of brown G eyes that C waited once forAm me.

So G drunk to hell I left the place sometimes Am crawling sometimesC walking,
A G hungry sound came across the breeze so IC gave the walls a Am talking.
And I G heard the sound of long ago, Am from the old C canal,
And theG birds wereAm whistlingC in theG trees,
WhereC the wind was gentlyAm laughing.
