[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1 chords)

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


[Chorus]

             
Was a pair of 

            
brown eyes tha

             
t was looking 

    
at me
             
But when we go

            
t back labelle

             
d parts one to

 
 three
             
There was no p

            
air of brown e

             
yes waiting fo

    
r me
             
And a rovin' a

           
 rovin' a rovi

         
n' I'll go
             
And a rovin' a

           
 rovin' a rovi

         
n' I'll go
             
And a rovin' a

           
 rovin' a rovi

         
n' I'll go
             
For a pair of 

        
brown eyes
             
For a pair of 

       
brown eyes
