Christy Moore - A Pair Of Brown Eyes (Live at Vicar Street)
[Verse 1]
D Em G
One summer evening drunk to hell I sat there nearly lifeless,
D Em A
An old man in the corner sang where the water lilies grow,D
D Em G
On the juke box Johnny sang about a thing called love,
D Em G D
How are you kid, what’s your name,
Em G Em
And what do you know.
[Verse 2]
D
In blood and death 'neath the screaming sky,
Em G
I lay down on the ground,
D
The arms and legs of other men,
Em A
Lay scattered all around,
D
Some cursed and prayed and prayed and cursed,
Em G
And Then they prayed some more,
D G A D
And the only thing that I could see,
D Em A D
Was a pair of brown eyes looking at me,
A G D
But when we got back labelled parts one to three,
Em G D
There was no pair of brown eyes waitin’ for me.
[Chorus]
D Em G D
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go, (x 3)
G Em
For a pair of brown eyes,
G A D
For a pair of brown eyes.
[Verse 3]
D Em G
I looked at him he looked at me, all I could do was hate him,
D Em A
While Ray and Philomena sang of my elusive dream,
D Em G
I saw the streams and the rolling hills, where his brown eyes were waiting,
D G A D G Em
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes that waited once for me,
G A D
That waited once for me.
