G Am One summer evening drunk to hell I stood C there nearly lifeless G C An old man in the corner sang where the water Am lilies grow G Am And on the jukebox Johnny sang about a thing called C love G Am C G And it's how are you kid and what's your name C Am And how would you bloody know? In blood and death, 'neath a screaming sky I laid down on the ground And the arms and legs of other men Were scattered all around Some cursed, some prayed, some prayed, then cursed Then prayed, then bled some more And the only thing that I could see Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me But when we got back, labeled parts one to three There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me Chorus: G Am C G And a rovin, a rovin, a rovin I'll go C Am For a pair of brown eyes I looked at him, he looked at me All I could do was hate him While Ray and Philomena sang Of my elusive dreams I saw the streams, the rolling hills Where his brown eyes were waiting And I thought about a pair of brown eyes That waited once for me So drunk to hell, I left the place Sometimes crawling, sometimes walking A hungry sound came across the breeze So I gave the walls a talking And I heard the sounds of long ago From the old canal And the birds were whistling in the trees Where the wind was gently laughing Chorus: And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go A rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go For a pair of brown eyes, for a pair of brown eyes And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go And a rovin', a rovin', a rovin' I'll go For a pair of brown eyes, for a pair of brown eyes | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  C  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
