A Pair Of Brown Eyes Chords by The Pogues

_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] [G] One summer evening drunk to hell, [Am] a sucker _ [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, _ [Em] and it's [G] how [Am] are you kid, [C] and what's [G] your name, [C] and how did you bloody [Am] know?
In [G]
blood and death, near the screaming sky, [Am] I lay [C] down on the ground, _ [G] and the arms and legs of other men [C] were scattered all [Am] around.
Some [G] cursed, some prayed, some prayed, then [Am] cursed, then prayed, then [C] pledged some more.
_ [Em] And [G] the [Am] only thing [C] that I [G] could see was a pair of [Am] brown [C] eyes that was looking [G] at me.
But when we [Am] got [C] back, labeled parts [G] one to three, there was no [Am] pair of [C] brown eyes waiting [G] for me.
I'd a-roving, [Am] a [C]-roving, a-roving, [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 hate _ [G] him.
Well, Ray and Philip, me, I sang [C] of my elusive [Am] _
dreams, [G] and saw the streams, the rolling hills, [Am] where his brown [C] eyes were waiting.
_ [G] And I thought [Am] about [C] a pair [G] of brown [C] eyes that waited [Am] once 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] wolves a talking.
Well, [G] I heard the sounds of long ago [Am] from the old [C]
canal.
_ [G] And the birds [Am] were whistling [C]
in [G] the trees, [C] where the wind was gently [Am] _
lapping.
And [G] I'd 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 I'll a-roving, [C] a-roving, a-roving [G] I'll go for [C] a pair of [Am] brown eyes.
For a [C] pair of [Bm] brown [G] _
eyes.

[G] And I'd a [Am]-roving, a [C]-roving, a-roving, [G] I'll go.
And a rove [Am] and a [C] rose
_ _ [G] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _

For [C] a pair [D] of brown [G] eyes
