[D] Of the verse.
Well, tell you what, you're that particular line.
You were doing it.
You were doing it.
[Em] And then, yeah?
[D] I've worked with Shane [Ab]
in this kind of scenario [Am] maybe two or three [G] times before,
and he's always delivered.
And it was lovely yesterday because I really admired the way he wanted to sing a song a certain way.
And I liked the way he hung out until we could play it the right way.
I thought that was good, you know?
How you kindling?
What's your name?
And how would you bloody know?
He's one of these old bastards that you get in a bar and decides to tell you his life story.
Well, he's one of the big voices.
You know when you've been learning the song?
He's a man of words and he's a man of music.
And I love him.
You know?
I really do.
And he's very, very, um, he's very sussed, you know?
And he's very funny.
And he said one thing yesterday.
He said, I just want to be a singer.
He said, I don't want to be an actor.
I don't want to be a poet.
I don't want to be a writer.
I just want to be a singer.
[E] But of course he is an actor [G] and he is a poet and he is a comedian and he is a writer.
He's all those things.
So [Em] I like, I love [G] to sing with him.
[D] I looked at him, he looked at me, and [E] all I could do [G] was hate him.
[D] While rain fell, Amina sang [G] of my elusive [Em] dream.
[D] I saw the streams and the rolling hills [Em] where his brown eyes [G] were wet.
And I thought [E] [G] about a pair [D] of brown eyes [G] that waited [Em] once for me.
So [D] drunk to hell I left the place, so [Em] just crawling, sometimes [G] walking.
And [D] a hungry sound came across the breeze, [G] gave the walls [E] a talking.
[Em]
[D] I heard the sound of lio [Em] from the old [G] canal.
And [D] the [Em] birds were whistling [G] [D] in the trees [G] where the wind was gently [Em] laughing.
[D] And a [Em] row, and a row, [G] and a [D] row, and a row, and a [Em] row, and a row, [G] and a row, and [D] a row, and a [Em] [G] row, and [D] a row.
[G] For a pair of [Em] brown eyes, [G] for a pair [A] of brown [G] eyes,

And [D] a [Em]-roving, a-roving, [G] a [D]-roving and go, A [Em]-roving, a-roving, [G] a [D]-roving and go,
