Chords

G G-C C-G G-D D

G G C C
Hey where did we go,
G G D D
Days when the rains came
G G C C
Down in the hollow,
G G D D
Playin' a new game,
G G C C
Laughing and a running hey, hey
G G D D
Skipping and a jumping
G G C C
In the misty morning fog with
G G D D C C
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
D D G G
My brown eyed girl,
C C D D G G D D
You my brown eyed girl.

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

D D G G
Do you remember when we used to sing,

G G C C
So hard to find my way,
G G D D
Now that I'm all on my own.
G G C C
I saw you just the other day,
G G D D
My how you have grown,
G G C C
Cast my memory back there, Lord
G G D D
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
G G C C
Making love in the green grass
G G D D C C
Behind the stadium with you
D D G G
My brown eyed girl
C C D D G G D D
You my brown eyed girl
