[Verse 1]

G                  C  G              D

 Hey, where did we go days when the rain came

G             C       G        D

 Down in the hollow 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                G    Em

 with our hearts a thumpin’ and you,     my brown eyed girl

C       D           G     D

You, my brown eyed girl

 

[Verse 2]

G         C       G              D

Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow

G                  C               G        D

Going down to the old mine with a transistor radio

G                C

Standing in the sunlight laughing

G                D

Hiding behind a rainbow’s wall

G                C

Slipping and a sliding

G               D7

All along the waterfall

      C   D7               G    Em

With you,   my brown eyed girl

C       D         G     D

You, my brown eyed girl

Sha la la la la la la la te da   Just like that

Sha la la la la la la la te da  la te da

 

[Verse 3]

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 how you have grown

G               C

Cast my memory back there, Lord

G           D

  Sometime I’m overcome thinking ’bout

G                    C

Making love in the green grass

G          D7           C

Behind the stadium with you

D7             G       Em

My brown eyed girl

C     D7          G    D

You my brown eyed girl
