Brown Eyed Girl  Van Morrison

BROWN EYED GIRL by: Van Morrison
Standard tuning: (E-A-D-G-B-e)
Over the years, I have seen this intro played a few different ways. I believe
1 & 2 are played together but all sound good. If there are 2 guitars playing, you can harmonize

[D7] My brown eyed [G]girl[Em]
[C] You [D7]my brown eyed[G] girl
REPEAT INTERLUDE & FADE:
Throughout the song, guitar 2 is following the chords with some picking. I have tabbed
out to give you an idea on how it is played. With a guitar part like this, I think you
get down the basics and improvise!
