[B] _ _ [Am] [G] One _ summer _ evening drunk to hell, [Am] a sucker _ _ nearly [C] _ lifeless.
_ [Am] 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.
[B] _ .
And [G] it's how are [Am] you kid [C] and what's [G] your name [C] and how'd you bloody _ [Am] know _ _ .
_ [G] In flood and death near the screaming _ sky I [Am] lay down on the [C] ground _ _ .
And [G] the arms and legs of other _ men were [C] scattered _ _ all [Am] around _ _ .
Some [G] cursed, some praised, some prayed, then cursed, [Am] then prayed, then bled some [C] more _ _ .
And [G] the only [Am] _ .
thing that [C] I could [G].
see was a pair of [Am] brown eyes that [C] 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.

I [G] _ looked at him, he _ looked at me, [Am] all I could _ do [C] was hate _ _ him.
[G] Well, Ryan Phillips _ made a sign [C] of my illusive _ [Am] _ dreams _ .
_ [G] I saw the streams, the rolling _ hills [Am] where his brown [C] eyes were waiting _ .
_ [Am] And [G] 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 _ walking.
_ _ A [G] _ .
hungry sound came across the breeze, [C] so I gave the wolves [Am] a talking.
_ _ And [G] I heard the sounds of long _ ago _ [Am] from the old [C] canal.
_ _ _ And the [G] _ .
birds [Am] were whistling [C].
in the [G] trees where [C] the wind was gently [Am].
lapping.
