Christy Moore - A pair of brown eyes
D Em G
One summer evening drunk to hell, I sat there nearly lifeless,
D G Em
An old man in the corner sang where the water lilies grow,
D Em G
And on the juke box Johnny sang about a thing called love,
D Em G Em
How are you kid, what’s your name,
G Em
And what do you know.
D
In blood and death 'neath the screaming sky,
Em G
I lay down on the ground,
D
The arms and legs of other men,
G Em
Lay scattered all around,
D G D
Some cursed and prayed and prayed and cursed,
Em G Em
And then they prayed some more,
D Em G
And the only thing that I could see,
D Em G D
Was a pair of brown eyes, looking at me,
Em G D
But when we got back, labelled parts one to three,
Em G D
There was no pair of brown eyes waitin’ for me.
[Chorus]
Em G D
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go, x 3
G Em
For a pair of brown eyes.
G D
For a pair of brown eyes.
D Em G
I looked at him he looked at me, all I could do was hate him,
D G Em
While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dream,
D Em G
I saw the streams and the rolling hills, where his brown eyes were waiting,
Em G D Em D Em
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes, that waited once for me,
G D
That waited once for me.
D Em G
So drunk as hell I left that place, sometimes walking, sometimes crawling,
D G Em
A hungry sound came on the breeze, so I gave the walls a good talking.
D Em G
I heard the sound of long ago, on the old canal,
Em G D G
And the birds were whistling in the trees,
Em D Em
And the wind was gently laughing.
[Chorus]
Em G D
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go, x 3
G Em
For a pair of brown eyes.
G D
For a pair of brown eyes.
