Brown Eyed Girl

Van Morrison

 
Looking for the real deal? There's a great note-for-note tab of "And It Stoned Me" in Van Morrison - Guitar Songbook. A five-star review at Sheet Music Plus says, "What I find more useful is that it includes guitar srumming patterns. Also the tabs to see the real chords. All in all, I just wish that all other songbooks where like this one.
Well done."
And beginners will want to check out the highly-rated instructional book FastTrack Guitar Songbook 1 - Book 1, which features this song.  Comes with a CD.

Hey, where did we go   days when the rain came

G                 C         G               D

Down in the hollow    playing a new game

G                       C                       G                      D

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

G                  C              G              D                 

in the misty morning fog, with our hearts a thumpin' and

C   D                          G  Em    C     D                      G    D

you, my brown eyed girl          You, my brown eyed girl

 

G              C       G                           D

Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow

G                        C                    G               D

Going down to the old mine with a transistor radio

G                     C                       G                      D

Standing in the sunlight laughing, hiding ‘hind a rainbow's wall

G                     C                      G                  D

Slipping and a sliding, hey, hey, All along the waterfall with

C   D                          G  Em    C     D                      G   

you, my brown eyed girl          You, my brown eyed girl

Sha la la la  la la la la  la la la la te da   Just like that

G                C             G                  D            G    D

Sha la la la  la la la la  la la la la te   da    la te da

 

G              C                G                    D

So hard to find my way,  Now that I'm on my own

G              C                       G              D

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

G              C                              G                       D

Cast my memory back there Lord. Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it

G                           C           G                  D

Makin' love in the green grass behind the stadium with

C   D                          G  Em    C     D                      G   

you, my brown eyed girl          You, my brown eyed girl

 

Second Chorus:

D (3)

Do you remember when we used to sing

G                C             G                  D

Sha la la la  la la la la  la la la la te da   Just like that

Sha la la la  la la la la  la la la la te   da
