SOL LAm DO
One summer evening drunk to hell I sat there nearly lifeless
SOL DO LAm
An old man in the corner sang where the waterlilies grow
SOL LAm DO
And on the jukebox Johnny sang about a thing called love
SOL LAm
and it's how are you kid
DO SOL
and whats your name
DO LAm
and how would you bloody know
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 and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
SOL LAm DO SOL
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
SOL LAm DO SOL
But when we got back labelled parts one to three
SOL LAm DO SOL
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
SOL LAm DO SOL
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
SOL LAm DO SOL
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
SOL LAm DO SOL
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
DO LAm
For a pair of brown eyes
DO RE SOL
For a pair of brown eyes

I looked at him he looked at me all I could do was hate him
While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dream
I saw the streams the rolling hills where his brown eyes were waiting
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes that waited once for me
So 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
And I heard the sounds of long ago from the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees where the wind was gently laughing
