The Pogues
A pair of brown eyes
G Am C
One summer evening drunk to hell I sat there nearly lifeless
G C Am
An old man in the corner sang where the waterlilies grow
G Am C
And on the jukebox Johnny sang about a thing called love
G Am
and it's how are you kid
C G
and whats your name
C Am
and how would you bloody know
In blood and death 'neath a screaming sky
I lay 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 and bled some more
And the only thing that I could see
G Am C G
Was a pair of brown eyes that was looking at me
G Am C G
But when we got back labelled parts one to three
G Am C G
There was no pair of brown eyes waiting for me
G Am C G
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
G Am C G
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
G Am C G
And a rovin' a rovin' a rovin' I'll go
C Am
For a pair of brown eyes
C D G
For a pair of brown eyes
Thats all folks

| Shane is an ace songwriter and this track is truely proof. Probably one of the saddest pop songs to ever chart (even if it was only 72 in UK charts). | |

| It's true, there are 2 narraters, but it is really hard to tell that if you havn't the insert or heard it from somewhere else. This is still my fav pogues song though. | |

| there are not 2 narrators. the narration is the same man who reflects back to the war. the brown eyes always refer to the severed body parts the man was surrounded by in his younger days and the song is about the vision has scarred him for life. | |
