• Song:

    Brown Eyed Girl

  • Artist:

    Van Morrison

  • Album:

    The Complete Bang Sessi...

Couldn't find a complete version of this. Either it didn't have all the lyrics, or the 
chords weren't lined up right,
which is a pet peave of mine, and NONE of them had the intro. Otherwise it was about as 
good as it can be with out adding all the riffs
in the begginning that Van does with the intro. However the basic intro riff is here.

Although I have it marked as intermediate, it all depends on how much you put into it to 
make it yours.. Novices should not be afraid to approach this song.

Note: you can also use a c9 where convenient. x32030

G             C
Hey, where did we go
G            D
Days when the rain came
G          C
Down in the hollow
G           D
Playin' a new game
G                    C
Laughin' and a runnin', hey hey
G                 D
Skippin' and a jumpin'
G              C
In the misty mornin' fog
   G               D7
With our hearts a thumpin'
  C          D7
And you
             G      Em
My brown eyed girl
C        D7
And you, my
           G
Brown eyed girl

G        C
Whatever happened
G              D
To Tuesday and so slow
G              C
Going down the old mine
G                D
With a transistor radio
G                      C
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
G               D
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
G               C
Slipping and sliding
G               D7
All along the water fall,
C           D7
with you
             G       Em
My brown eyed girl,
C   D7
You my
           G
brown eyed girl.

D7
Do you remember when we used to sing
G         C       G      D7
Sha la la la la la la la te da  just like that
G         C       G      D7         G
Sha la la la la la la la te da  la te da

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
Behind the stadium
C          D7
with you
              G     Em
My brown eyed girl
C   D7
You my
           G
brown eyed girl

D7
Do you remember when we used to sing
G         C       G      D7
Sha la la la la la la la te da  just like that
G         C       G      D7         G
Sha la la la la la la la te da  la te da


I like to end with some fingerpicking of the basic chord progression.
