A Pair of Brown Eyes The Pogues
One summer evening d[G]runk to hell I stood there near[Am]ly lifeless[C/G]
An o[G]ld man in the corner sang where the[C/G] water lilies g[Am]row
And [G]on the jukebox Johnny sang abo[Am]ut a thing calle[C/G]d love
And it's h[G]ow are you [Am]kid and wh[C]at's your n[G]ame
And h[C]ow would you bloody k[Am]now?
In [G]blood and death 'neath a screaming sky I [Am]lay down on the gro[C/G]und
And the [G]arms and legs of other men were [C/G]scattered all arou[Am]nd
Some [G]cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed then [Am]prayed and bled some m[C/G]ore
And the [G]only t[Am]hing that [C]I could s[G]ee
Was a p[G]air of brown e[Am]yes that was loo[C]king at [G]me
But w[G]hen we got b[Am]ack, labeled pa[C]rts one to th[G]ree
There was [G]no pair of b[Am]rown eyes wa[C]iting for [G]me
And a r[G]ovin' a r[Am]ovin' a ro[C]vin' I'll [G]go
For a p[C]air of brown e[Am]yes
I [G]looked at him he looked at me all [Am]I could do was [C/G]hate him
While [G]Ray and Philomena sang of [C/G]my elusive dr[Am]eam
I [G]saw the streams, the rolling hills where [Am]his brown eyes were wai[C/G]ting
And I [G]thought a[Am]bout a pa[C]ir of brown [G]eyes
that wa[C]ited once fo[Am]r me
So [G]drunk to hell I left the place sometimes[Am] crawling sometimes wal[C/G]king
A [G]hungry sound came across the breeze so I [C/G]gave the walls a ta[Am]lking
And I [G]heard the sounds of long ago f[Am]rom the old c[C/G]an*l
And the [G]birds were w[Am]histling [C]in the t[G]rees
Where the w[C]ind was gently la[Am]ughing
And a r[G]ovin' a r[Am]ovin' a ro[C]vin' I'll [G]go
And a r[G]ovin' a r[Am]ovin' a ro[C]vin' I'll [G]go
And a ro[G]vin' a r[Am]ovin' a ro[C]vin' I'll [G]go
For a p[C]air of brown e[Am]yes
For a p[C]air of b[D]rown e[G]yes
And a r[G]ovin' a r[Am]ovin' a ro[C]vin' I'll [G]go
And a r[G]ovin' a r[Am]ovin' a ro[C]vin' I'll [G]go
And a ro[G]vin' a r[Am]ovin' a ro[C]vin' I'll [G]go
For a p[C]air of brown e[Am]yes
For a p[C]air of b[D]rown e[G]yes
