[Bm] [G] One summer evening drunk to hell [Am] I sat there [B] [C] nearly lifeless
[Am] [G] While an old man in the corner sang [C] Where the water [B] lilies [Am] grow _ _
[F#] [G] And on the jukebox Johnny sang [Am] About a [Bm] thing called [C] love _
[B] And [G] it's how are [Am] you kid [C] and what's your [G] name [C] And how'd you bloody [Am] know _ _
_ [G] Blood and death peeped the screaming sky [Am] I laid down [Bm] on [C] the ground
[A] _
[G] The arms and legs of other men [C] Were scattered [B] all [Am] around _ _
[G] Some cursed, some freed, some freed then cursed [Am] Some bled then [Em] freed [C] some more
[G] And the only [Am] thing [C] that I [G] could see Was a pair of [Am] brown eyes that [C] were looking [G] at me
But when we got back [C] and labeled parts [G] one to three There wasn't a [Am] pair of [C] brown eyes waiting [G] for me
And a [Am] rovin', a [C] rovin', a rovin' [G] I'll go A [Am] rovin', a [C] rovin', a [G] rovin' I'll go

_ at him, he looked at me [Am] All I could do [C] was hate him
[G] While rain fell on Mina's side, [C] a _ mile's [Am] lucid dreams _
[G] I saw the stream, the rolling hill, [Am] where his brown [C] eyes were waiting _
[G] And I [Am] thought about [C] a pair of [G] brown eyes [C] that waited one [Am] for me _
[G] So 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] walls a talking
[G] And I heard the sounds of long ago, [Am] down by the old [C] canal
And [G] the birds [Am] were whistling [C] in [G] the trees, [C] where the wind was gently [Am] laughing
[G] And a-roving, [Am] a-roving, [C] a-roving, [G] I'll go, a-roving, [Am] a-roving
