[C] [Em]
[G] One 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?
In [G] blood and death, near the screaming sky, [Am]
I lay down on [C] 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] pledged some more.
[Em] And [G] the [Am] only thing [C] that I could [G] see was a pair of brown [Am] eyes that [C] was looking [G] at me.
But when we got [Am] back, [C] labeled parts one to [G] three, there was no pair [C] of brown eyes waiting for [G] 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] [Em] [G] I looked at him, he looked at me, [Am]
all I could [C] do was face him.
[G] While Ray and Phillip made a song [C] of my elusive [Am] dreams.
And [G] saw the streams, the rolling hills, [Am] where his brown [C] eyes were waiting.
[G] And I thought [Am] about a [C] pair of [G] brown eyes [C] that waited once for [Am] me.
[G] So drunk to hell, I left the place, [Am] sometimes crawling, [C] sometimes walking.
A [G] 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 the [G] birds [Am] were [C] whistling in the [G] trees, [C] where the wind was gently [Am] lapping.
And [Em] a roving, [Am] a roving, [C] a roving [G] I'll go.
A roving, [Am] a [C] roving, a roving [G] I'll go.
And a roving, [C] a roving, a roving [G] I'll go for a [C] pair of brown [Am]
eyes.
[C] For a pair [D] of brown [G]
eyes.
And a [Am]-roving, a [C]-roving, a [G]-roving I'll go
And a [Am]-roving, a [C]-roving, a-roving
