Arrested on charges of unemployment,

                               A
The judge's wife called up the district attorney

Said you free that brown eyed man

Flying across the desert in a TWA,
E
I saw a woman walking across the sand
                               A
She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to Bombay.
         B                    E
To get a brown eyed handsome man
E                            D                    E
Her destination was a brown eyed handsome man

Way back in history three thousand years
E
Back every since the world began
                               A
There's been a whole lot of good women shed a tear
         B                    E
For a brown eyed handsome man
E                            D                    E
That's what the trouble was brown eyed handsome man

E
Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind
E
Between a doctor and a lawyer man
                               A
Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself
         B             E
A brown eyed handsome man
E                            D                    E
That's what your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man

Milo Venus was a beautiful lass
E
She had the world in the palm of her hand
                               A
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
         B             E
To get brown eyed handsome man
E                            D                    E
She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

Two, three count with nobody on
E
He hit a high fly into the stand
                               A
Rounding third he was headed for home
         B             E
It was a brown eyed handsome man
E                            D                    E
That won the game; it was a brown eyed handsome man
