[Verse 1]
G                  C  G              D
 Hey, where did we go days when the rain came
 Down in the hollow playing a new game
 Laughing, and a running, hey, hey
 Skipping and a jumping
 In the misty morning fog,
       G    D                    C     D                G    Em
 with our hearts a thumpin' and you,     my brown eyed girl
C       D           G     D
You, my brown eyed girl
 
[Verse 2]
G         C       G              D
Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a sliding
All along the waterfall
      C   D7               G    Em
With you,   my brown eyed girl
C       D         G     D
You, my brown eyed girl
 
[Bridge]
         D7
Do you remember when we used to sing
G         C        G        D7
Sha la la la la la la la te da   Just like that
G         C        G        D7        G
Sha la la la la la la la te da  la te da
 
[Verse 3]
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
  Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl
 
[Bridge]
Do you remember when we used to sing
(Repeat till fade)
Sha la la la la la la la te da
Sha la la la la la la la te da  la te da
