         2 X [ G C G D ]

[verse: 1]  {whole band kicks in}
G                   C
  Hey where did we go
G                      D
  Days when the rains came
G               C
  Down in the hollow
G                 D
  Playing a new game
G                   C
  Laughing and a running hey hey
G                 D
 Skipping and a jumping
G                C
 In the misty morning fog 
G                     D          C        D
 With our hearts a thumping and you
                G      Em
My brown eyed girl
C             D
   And you my
            G      D
Brown eyed girl

[verse: 2]
G                 C
   And whatever happened
G                    D
  To Tuesday and so slow
G                    C
Going down to the old mine with a 
G           D
Transistor radio
G                         C
Standing in the sunlight laughing
G                         D
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
G               C
Slipping and a sliding
   G               D          C          D
All along the waterfall with you 
               G      Em
My brown eyed girl
C            D
  And you my
             G
Brown eyed girl

G                     C
  So hard to find my way
G                         D
  Now that I'm all on my own
G                   C
I saw you just the other day
G             D
My you have grown
G                          C
 Cast my memory back there Lord
G                          D
 Sometimes I'm overcome thinking about
G                    C
Making love in the green grass
   G           D      C          D
Behind the stadium  with you
                G      Em
My brown eyed girl
C            D
And you my
            G
Brown eyed girl
