A Pair Of Brown Eyes - The Pogues | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
C

[Verse 1]
---------------------
    G
One summer evening, drunk to hell
  Am               C
I sat there nearly lifeless
      G
An old man in the corner sang
            C            Am
''Where the Water Lilies Grow''
    G
And on the jukebox, Johnny sang
 Am                  C
About a thing called love
         G              Am         C                    G
And it's ''How are you, kid?'' and ''What's your name?''
         C                    Am
And ''How'd you bloody know?''

[Verse 2]
---------------------
   G
In blood and death, 'neath a screaming sky
  Am                     C
I laid down on the ground
            G
And the arms and legs of other men
     C                   Am
Were scattered all around
     G
Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed, then cursed
     Am                         C
Then prayed, then bled some more
        G         Am      C      G
And the only thing  that I could see
                    Am            C          G
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
                     Am        C            G
But when we got back,  labeled parts one to three
                     Am         C             G
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
      G         Am        C           G
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
      C             Am
For a pair of brown eyes

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C Am C Am  G
         I looked at him, he looked at me
     Am             C
All I  could do was hate him
      G
While Ray and Philomena sang
   C                Am
Of my elusive dreams
     G
I saw the streams, the rolling hills
         Am                C
Where his  brown eyes were waiting
      G            Am      C         G
And I thought about  a pair of brown eyes
         C             Am
That waited once for me

[Verse 4]
---------------------
   G
So drunk to hell, I left the place
          Am                  C
Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking
      G
A hungry sound came across the breeze
     C                Am
So I gave the walls a talking
      G
And I heard the sounds of long ago
Am                C
From the old canal
             G     Am          C    G
And the birds were whistling in the trees
          C               Am
Where the wind was gently laughing

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
      G         Am        C           G
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
            Am        C           G
A rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
                Am        C           G
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
      C                  Am          C   D         G
For a pair of brown eyes,  for a pair of brown eyes
C Am C Am      G         Am        C           G
         And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
                Am        C           G
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
                Am        C           G
And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go
      C                  Am          C   D         G
For a pair of brown eyes,  for a pair of brown eyes
