[C]
[Em] [G] One summer evening drunk to hell, [Am] I sat there [C] nearly lifeless
An [G] old man in the corner sang, [C] where the water lilies [Am] grow
[G] And on the jukebox Johnny sang [Am] about a thing [C] called love
And [G] it's now, are [Am] you kid, [C] and what's [G] your name, [C] and how'd you bloody [Am] know?
[G] In blood and death, near the screaming [Am] sky, I lay [C] down on the ground
And [G] the arms and legs of other men were [C] scattered all [Am] around
Some [G] cursed, some prayed, some prayed, then [Am] cursed, then prayed, then [C] bled some more
And [G] the [Am] only thing [C] that I could [G] see was a pair of [Am] brown eyes [C] that was looking [G] at me
But when we got [Am] back, [C] label cards one [G] to three, there was no pair [Am] of brown [C] eyes waiting [G] for me
And a row, and [Am] a [C] row, and a row, [G] and I'll go [C] for a pair of brown [Am] eyes
[C] I
[Em] [C]
[Am] [G] looked at him, he looked at me, [Am] all I could do [C] was hate him
[G] While Ryan Phillips made a song [C] of my elusive [Am] dreams
[G] I saw the streams, the rolling hills, [Am] where his brown [C] eyes were waiting
[G] And I thought [Am] about [C] a pair of [G] brown eyes [C] that waited once [Am] for me
[G] So drunk to hell, I left the place, [Am] sometimes crawling, sometimes [C] walking
[G] A hungry sound came across the breeze, [C] so I gave the [Am] wolves a talking
[G] And I heard the sounds of long ago [Am]
from the [C] old canal
And [G] the birds [Am] were [C] whistling in [G] the trees, [C] where the wind was gently [Am] lapping
[G] And a row, [Am] and a row, [C] and a row, [G] and I'll go
A row, [Am] and a [C] row, and a row, [G] and I'll go
And a row, [C] and a row, and a row, [G] and I'll go
For [C] a pair of [Am] brown eyes
[C] For a pair of [D] brown [G] eyes
[C] And
[Am]
[G] a row, [Am] and a row, [C] and a row, [G] and I'll go
And a [Am] rovin', a [C] rovin', a rovin' [G]
[C] [G]
[C] [Am] is [C] for a pair [D] of brown [G] eyes.
