A Pair Of Brown Eyes Chords by The Pogues

_ [C] _ _ _ _ One _
[Em] _ [G] _ summer evening drunk to hell, [Am] I sat there [C] nearly lifeless. _
[G] An 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 how are [Am] you kid [C] and what's your [G]
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 the [G] arms and legs of other men were [C] scattered _ all [Am] around. _
[G] Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed, then cursed, [Am] then prayed, then [C] bled some more.
_ [Em]
And [G] the [Am] only thing [C] that I could [G] see was a pair [Am] of brown eyes that [C] was looking [G] at me.
But when we got [Am] back, [C] labeled parts [G] one to three, there was no pair [Am] of [C] brown eyes waiting for [G] me.
I'll arove and [Am] [C] arove and arove and [G] I'll go [C] for a pair of brown [Am] _ eyes.

[G] I looked at him, he looked at me, [Am] all I could [C] do was face him. _
[G] While Ray and _ Philemona sang [C] of my elusive [Am] dreams, _ [G] I saw the streams, the rolling [Em]
hills [Am] where his brown [C] eyes were waiting. _
[G] And I thought [Am] about a [C] pair [G] of brown eyes that [C] waited [Am] once for me.
So [G] strung 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] wolves a talking.
And [G] I heard the sounds of long ago [Am] from the [C] old canal.
_ [G] And the birds [Am] were [C] whistling in the [G] trees where [C] the wind was gently [Am]
lapping.
And [Em] arove and [Am] [C] arove and arove and [G] I'll go, arove and [Am] [C] arove and arove [G] and I'll go,
and arove [C] and arove and arove [G] and I'll go [C] for a pair of brown [Am] _
eyes.
[C] For a pair [D] of brown [G] _
eyes.
And arove [Am] and arove [C] and arove [G] and I'll go, and arove [Am] and [C] arove and arove.
