***A Pair Of Brown Eyes - by Shane MacGowan from the album "Rum Sodomy & The Lash" A Pair Of Brown Eyes - as perfomed by The Pogues

One su^Gmmer evening drunk to hell I s^Amat there nearly l^Cifeless An ol^Gd man in the corner sang where the wa^Cterlilies gr^Amow And o^Gn the jukebox Johnny sang ab^Amout a thing called l^Cove and it's h^Gow are you k^Amid and wh^Cats your na^Gme and h^Cow would you bloody k^Amnow

In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky I lay down on the ground And the arms and legs of other men Were scattered all around Some cursed some prayed some prayed then cursed Then prayed and bled some more And the only thing that I could see

Was a pa^Gir of brown ey^Ames that was loo^Cking at m^Ge But w^Ghen we got bac^Amk labelled part^Cs one to ^Gthree There wa^Gs no pair of b^Amrown eyes waiti^Cng for me^G And a ro^Gvin' a r^Amovin' a r^Covin' I'll g^Go And a ro^Gvin' a r^Amovin' a r^Covin' I'll g^Go And a ro^Gvin' a r^Amovin' a r^Covin' I'll g^Go For a pa^Cir of brown ey^Ames For a pa^Cir of b^Drown ey^Ges

Inst |C |C Am|C |C Am|| I looked at him he looked at me all I could do was hate him While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dream I saw the streams the rolling hills where his brown eyes were waiting And I thought about a pair of brown eyes that waited once for me So drunk to hell I left the place sometimes crawling sometimes walking A hungry sound came across the breeze so I gave the walls a talking And I heard the sounds of long ago from the old canal And the birds were whistling in the trees where the wind was gently laughing Chorus Outro |G Am C G|G Am C G|G Am C G|C Am |C D G|C G Am7 G||
