Christy Moore - A Pair Of Brown Eyes (Live at Vicar Street) [Verse 1]

One su^Dmmer evening drunk to hell I ^Emsat there nearly l^Gifeless, An old^D man in the corner sang where the ^Gwater lilies g^Emrow, And on the ^Djuke box Johnny sang ab^Emout a thing called^G love, Ho^Dw are you^Em kid, w^Ghat’s your n^Emame, And ^Gwhat do you k^Emnow.

[Verse 2]

In b^Dlood and death 'neath the screaming sky, I l^Emay down on the g^Ground, The ^Darms and legs of other men, Lay sc^Gattered all a^Emround, Some c^Dursed and prayed and p^Grayed and ^Dcursed, A^Emnd Then they p^Grayed some ^Emmore, And the o^Dnly thing that^Em I could ^Gsee, Was a p^Dair of b^Emrown eyes l^Gooking at ^Dme,

But when we got b^Emack labelled ^Gparts one to t^Dhree, There was no pair of ^Embrown eyes wa^Gitin’ for^D me.

[Chorus]

And a ^Emrovin' a ^Grovin' a ^Drovin' I'll go, x 3 For a ^Gpair of brown^Em eyes. For a ^Gpair of brown ^Deyes.

[Verse 3]

I lo^Doked at him he looked at me, all I^Em could do was h^Gate him, Whil^De Ray and Philomena sang of ^Gmy elusive ^Emdream, I s^Daw the streams and the rolling hills, where ^Emhis brown eyes were w^Gaiting, And I ^Emthought a^Gbout a p^Dair of br^Emown eyes that w^Daited once for^Em me, That wa^Gited once for^D me.

[Verse 4]

So d^Drunk as hell I left that place sometimes w^Emalking sometimes c^Grawling, A hu^Dngry sound came on the breeze so I g^Gave the walls a good ^Emtalking. I he^Dard the sound of long ago, ^Emon the old c^Ganal, And the b^Emirds were w^Ghistling ^Din the t^Grees, And the w^Emind was g^Dently la^Emughing.

[Chorus]

And a ^Emrovin' a ^Grovin' a ^Drovin' I'll go, x 3 For a ^Gpair of brown^Em eyes. For a ^Gpair of brown ^Deyes.

[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 :)
