G                                         Am                                 C
One summer evening drunk to hell I stood there nearly lifeless
G                                                C                                Am
An old man in the corner sang where the water lilies grow
G                                                    Am                    C
And on the jukebox Johnny sang about a thing called love
G                               Am            C            G
And it's how are you kid and what's your name
C                                   Am
And how would you bloody know?

G 
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
Am                         C
I lay down on the ground
G                                                         C                   Am
And the arms and legs of other men were scattered all around
G                              
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed
                        Am                             C
then cursed then prayed and bled some more
G                 Am           C        G
And the only thing that I could see
G                              Am                C       G
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
G                     Am             C                   G
But when we got back, labeled parts one to three
G                           Am                 C          G
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
G                  Am            C            G
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
C                         Am
For a pair of brown eyes

G                                             Am                        C
I looked at him he looked at me all I could do was hate him
G                                           C                 Am
While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dream
G 
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
Am                             C
where his brown eyes were waiting
G                    Am          C             G
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes
C                          Am
that waited once for me

G 
So drunk to hell I left the place
            Am                                C
sometimes crawling sometimes walking
G 
A hungry sound came across
                         C                          Am
the breeze so I gave the walls a talking
G                                            Am                     C
And I heard the sounds of long ago from the old canal
G                         Am            C          G
And the birds were whistling in the trees
C                                       Am
Where the wind was gently laughing

G                  Am               C    G
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
G                 Am             C        G
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
G                Am            C              G
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
C                              Am
For a pair of brown eyes
C                    D       G
For a pair of brown eyes
