A Pair Of Brown Eyes Chords by The Pogues

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