The Pogues - A Pair of Brown Eyes

      
 
                (1)            
 Pouges ?? A pair of brown eyes
 
    G                               Am                C         
 One summer evening drunk to hell I  sat there nearly  lifeless,
   G                                     C            Am    
 An old man in the corner sang where the  water lilies grow,
    G                           Am                   C     
 And on the juke box Johnny sang about a thing called love,
         G           Am   C         G     
 And it's how are you kid,whats your name,
    C                    Am    
 And how would you bloody know.
 
   G                                         
 In blood and death 'neath the screaming sky,
  Am              C       
 I lay down on the ground,
        G                           
 And the arms and legs of other men,
     C               Am    
 Were scattered all around,
     G                       C            G      
 Some cursed some prayed some prayed then cursed,
     C                    Am    
 Then prayed and bled some more,
        G               Am      C    
 And the only thing that I could see,
      G             Am             C           G  
 Was a pair of brown eyes that were looking at me,
                Am            C            G      
 But when we got back labelled 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 dreams,
   G                                  Am                        C        
 I  saw the streams the rolling hils,  where his brown eyes were waiting,
       G       Am      C              G         C               Am  
 And I  thought about a pair of brown  eyes that waited once for me.
   G                                        Am                 C        
 So drunk to hell I left the place sometimes crawling sometimes walking,
   G                                        C                 Am       
 A  hungry sound came across the breeze so I gave the walls a  talking.
       G                             Am            C      
 And I  heard the sound of long ago,  from the old  can*l,
        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 x3
      C             Am    
 for a pair of brown eyes,
      C        D    G    
 For a pair of brown eyes

    G         Am      C          G     
 And a rovin,a rovin a rovin I'll go x3
      C             Am    
 for a pair of brown eyes,
      C        D    G    
 For a pair of brown eyes
