Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

One [G]summer evening drunk to hell I [Am]stood there nearly life[C]less An [G]old man in the corner sang where the [C]water lilies [Am]grow And [G]on the jukebox Johnny sang about [Am]a thing called [C]love And it’s [G]how are you [Am]kid and [C]what’s your [G]name, and [C]how would you bloody [Am]know?

In [G]blood and death ‘neath a screaming sky I [Am]lay down on the [C]ground And the [G]arms and legs of other men were [C]scattered all [Am]around Some [G]cursed, some prayed, some prayed then cursed then [Am]prayed and bled some [C]more And the [G]only [Am]thing that [C]I could [G]see Was a [G]pair of brown [Am]eyes that was [C]looking at [G]me But [G]when we got [Am]back, labeled [C]parts one to [G]three There was [G]no pair of [Am]brown eyes [C]waiting for [G]me And a [G]roving a [Am]roving a [C]roving I’ll [G]go, for a [C]pair of brown [Am]eyes

I [G]looked at him he looked at me all [Am]I could do was [C]hate him While [G]Ray and Philomena sang of [C]my elusive [Am]dream I [G]saw the streams, the rolling hills where [Am]his brown eyes were [C]waiting And I [G]thought [Am]about a [C]pair of brown [G]eyes, that [C]waited once for [Am]me

So [G]drunk to hell I left the place sometimes [Am]crawling sometimes [C]walking A [G]hungry sound came across the breeze so I [C]gave the walls a [Am]talking And I [G]heard the sounds of long ago [Am]from the old [C]canal And the [G]birds were [Am]whistling [C]in the [G]trees, where the [C]wind was gently [Am]laughing

And a [G]roving a [Am]roving a [C]roving I’ll [G]go, and a [G]roving a [Am]roving a [C]roving I’ll [G]go And a [G]roving a [Am]roving a [C]roving I’ll [G]go For a [C]pair of brown [Am]eyes, for a [C]pair of [D]brown [G]eyes And a [G]roving a [Am]roving a [C]roving I’ll [G]go, and a [G]roving a [Am]roving a [C]roving I’ll [G]go And a [G]roving a [Am]roving a [C]roving I’ll [G]go For a [C]pair of brown [Am]eyes, for a [C]pair of [D]brown [G]eyes
