5 Chords used in the song: G, C, D, Em, D7
←
There are quite a few tabs for this already- but they either
require down-tuning or don't contain the full song.
I've done my best to tab the intro, it sounds pretty much right to
me but have a play, see what you think and comment/rate please!
The tuning is normal and all the chords shown are the same as the
guitar chords Van plays.
The intro is a bit tricky but the rest is just chords and pretty easy.

Main song:
G C
Hey where did we go,
G D
Days when the rains came
G C
Down in the hollow,
G D
Playin' a new game,
G C
Laughing and a running hey, hey
G D
Skipping and a jumping
G C
In the misty morning fog with
G D
Our hearts a thumpin'
C D
and you
G Em
My brown eyed girl,
C D G
You my 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 D
All along the water fall
C D
with you
G Em
My brown eyed girl,
C D G
You my brown eyed girl.
D
Do you remember when we used to sing,
G C G D7
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
G C G D7
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
G C G D
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 D
Behind the stadium
C D
with you
G Em
My brown eyed girl,
C D G
You my brown eyed girl
D
Do you remember when we used to sing
G C G D7
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
