Brown Eyed Girl

A lively track from *Blowin’ Your Mind!*, 1967, perfect for group sing-alongs with simple chords.

Hey, where did we go
Days when the rains came?

Down in the hollow
Playing a new game

Laughing and a-running, hey, hey
Skipping and a-jumping

In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a-thumping

Chorus

And you, my brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?

Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio

Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hide behind a rainbow’s wall

Slipping and a-sliding
All along the waterfall with you

Chorus

My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah

La dee dah

So hard to find my way
Now that I’m all on my own

I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown

Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I’m overcome thinking ’bout

Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you

Chorus

My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
