Brown Eyed Girl  -  Van Morrison 



Verse 1:

    G                C      
      Hey, where did we go   
    G               D7
      Days when the rains came
    G             C      
      Down in the hollow    
    G           D7
      Playing a new game

    G                 C                 
      Laughing and a running, hey, hey 
    G                D7 
      Skipping and a jumping 
    G              C            
      In the misty morning fog with 
    G         D7                  
      Ah, our hearts a thumpin', and...


Chorus:

    C    D7              G    Em 
    You,   my brown eyed girl   
    C        D7           G     D7
    You, my    brown eyed girl
 

Verse 2:

    G              C      
      And whatever happened
    G                D7
      To Tuesday and so slow
    G                   C              
      Going down to the old man with a
    G            D7
      Transistor radio

    G                 C                 
      Standing in the sunlight laughing
    G                 D7
      Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
    G                C                            
      Slipping and a sliding
    G               D7 
      All along the waterfall with...


Chorus:

    C    D7              G    Em 
    You,   my brown eyed girl   
    C        D7           G     D7
    You, my    brown eyed girl

Verse 3:
    G            C                        
      So hard to find my way
    G               D7
      Now that I'm all on my own 
    G                    C                             
      I saw you just the other day
    G                  D7
      My, how you have grown
  
    G                C                              
      Cast my memory back there, Lord
    G               D7
      Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
    G                    C                       
      Makin' love in the green grass
    G            D7  
      Behind the stadium with...


Chorus:

    C    D7              G    Em 
    You,   my brown eyed girl

    You, my    brown eyed girl
