G Am C

VERSE 1: One summer evening drunk to hell I sat there nearly lifeless

G C Am

An old man in the corner sang where the waterlilies grow

G Am C

And on the jukebox Johnny sang about a thing called love

G Am C G

(Higher) And it's how are you kid, and what's your name

C Am

And how would you bloody know

VERSE 2: In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky I lay down on the ground

And the arms and legs of other men were scattered all around

Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed then prayed then bled some more

G Am C G

(Higher) 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

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', rovin' I'll go

C Am

For a pair of brown eyes

INSTRUMENTAL: G-G-G-G-Am-C x2

VERSE 3: I looked at him he looked at me all I could do was hate him

While Ray and Philomena sang of my illucive dreams

I saw the streams, the rolling hills where his brown eyes were waiting

(H) And I thought about a pair of brown eyes

That waited once for me

VERSE 4: Still drunk to hell I left the place sometimes crawling sometimes walking

A hungry sound came across the breeze so I gave the walls a talking

I heard the sounds of long ago from the old canal

(H) And the birds were whistling in the trees

Where the wind was gently laughing

Bridge: And a rovin'.....x3

C Am

For a pair of brown eyes

C D G

For a pair of brown eyes

Bridge (again)
