A Pair Of Brown Eyes Chords & Lyrics - Christy Moore

[VERSE 1]

One su[D]mmer evening drunk to hell I [Em]sat there nearly l[G]ifeless,
An old[D] man in the corner sang where the [G]water lilies g[Em]row,
And on the [D]juke box Johnny sang ab[Em]out a thing called[G] love,
Ho[D]w are you[Em] kid, w[G]hat’s your n[Em]ame,
And [G]what do you k[Em]now.

[VERSE 2]

In b[D]lood and death 'neath the screaming sky,
I l[Em]ay down on the g[G]round,
The [D]arms and legs of other men,
Lay sc[G]attered all a[Em]round,
Some c[D]ursed and prayed and p[G]rayed and [D]cursed,
A[Em]nd Then they p[G]rayed some [Em]more,
And the o[D]nly thing that[Em] I could [G]see,
Was a p[D]air of b[Em]rown eyes l[G]ooking at [D]me,

But when we got b[Em]ack labelled [G]parts one to t[D]hree,
There was no pair of [Em]brown eyes wa[G]itin’ for[D] me.

[CHORUS]

And a [Em]rovin' a [G]rovin' a [D]rovin' I'll go, x 3

For a [G]pair of brown[Em] eyes.
For a [G]pair of brown [D]eyes.

[VERSE 3]

I lo[D]oked at him he looked at me, all I[Em] could do was h[G]ate him,
Whil[D]e Ray and Philomena sang of [G]my elusive [Em]dream,
I s[D]aw the streams and the rolling hills, where [Em]his brown eyes were w[G]aiting,
And I [Em]thought a[G]bout a p[D]air of br[Em]own eyes that w[D]aited once for[Em] me,
That wa[G]ited once for[D] me.

[VERSE 4]

So d[D]runk as hell I left that place sometimes w[Em]alking sometimes c[G]rawling,
A hu[D]ngry sound came on the breeze so I g[G]ave the walls a good [Em]talking.
I he[D]ard the sound of long ago, [Em]on the old c[G]anal,
And the b[Em]irds were w[G]histling [D]in the t[G]rees,
And the w[Em]ind was g[D]ently la[Em]ughing.

[CHORUS]

And a [Em]rovin' a [G]rovin' a [D]rovin' I'll go, x 3

For a [G]pair of brown[Em] eyes.
For a [G]pair of brown [D]eyes.

[Repeat to finish]

Thanks to 'Jooshjr81' for submitting the other version of this which I used as a base for this version.
I tried to get as close to the way it sounds when Christy plays it but please comment any errors / feedback

Thanks :)
