Shane Mac Gowan
C
One summer evening drunk as hell,
D F
I sat there nearly lifeless.
C
An old man in the corner sang,
D F
Where the water lilies grow.
C
On the jukebox Johnny sang,
D F
About a thing called love.
C F G C
And it's "how are you kid? What's your name?
F D F
And what do you know?"
C
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky,
D F
I lay down on the ground.
C
The arms and legs of other men,
D F
Were scattered all around.
C
Some prayed and cursed, then cursed and prayed,
D F
And then they prayed some more.
C F G C
And the only thing that I could see,
C F G C
Was a pair of brown eyes they were looking at me.
C G F C
When we got back, labeled parts one to three,
C G F C
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me.
CHORUS
C F G C
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,
C G F C
A rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,
C F G C
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go,
F D F
For a pair of brown eyes,
F D F
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 dream.
I saw the streams and the rolling hills,
Where his brown eyes were waiting.
And I thought about a pair of brown eyes,
That waited once for me,
That waited once for me.
So drunk as hell I left the place,
Sometimes walking, sometimes crawling.
A hungry sound came through 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
