One summer's evening drunk as hell, I sat there nearly lifeless,
C
Dm
G
an old man in the corner sang, where the water lilies grow.
C
Dm
F
On the jukebox Johnny sang, about a thing called love.

"How are you kid? What's your name? And what do you know?"
C
Dm

In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky, I lay down on the ground,
C
Dm
G
the arms and legs of other men, were scattered all around.
C
Some prayed and cursed, then cursed and prayed,
Dm
F
and then they prayed some more,
C
F

but the only thing that I could see,
C
F
G

was a pair of brown eyes they were looking at me.

When we got back, labeled parts one to three,
C

there was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me.
C
F

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,

for a pair of brown eyes, for a pair of brown eyes.

I looked at him, he looked at me, all I could do was hate him,
C
Dm
G
while Ray and Philomena sang, of my elusive dream.
C
I saw the streams and the rolling hills,
Dm
F
where his brown eyes were waiting,
C
F
G
C
and I thought about a pair of brown eyes,
F
Dm
F
Dm
G
C
that waited once for me, that waited once for me.
C
So drunk as hell I left that place,
Dm
F
sometimes walking, sometimes crawling.
C
Dm

A hungry sound came on the breeze, so I gave the walls a talking.
C
Dm
F
And I heard the sounds of long ago, from the old canal.
C
F
G
C
And the birds were whistling in the trees,
F
Dm
F
as the wind was gently laughing.
C
F

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,
C
G

a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go.

And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,

for a pair of brown eyes, for a pair of brown eyes.
