Brown Eyed Girl

Tab by: Aaron Meredith

Standard tuning: (E-A-D-G-B-e)

Over the years, I have seen this 
intro played a few different ways. I
 believe
1 & 2 are played together but all 
sound good. If there are 2 guitars 
playing, you can harmonize
by playing 2 different ones.

G             C       G         
 Hey, where did we go       days
    D
 when the rain came
G             C       G         
 Down in  the hollow        playing 
D
a new game
G             C                G
 Laughing, and a running,  hey, 
              D
hey     Skipping and a jumping
G             C               G  
 in the misty morning fog,    
  D7                  C
with    our hearts a thumpin' and 
you,

G         C          G     
 Whatever happened          to 
          D
Tuesday and so slow
G                C              
 Going down to the old mine   
G            D
With a     transistor radio
G              C               G
 Standing in the sunlight 
               D
laughing     Hiding behind a 
rainbow's wall
Continues after the ad
G             C       G         
 Slipping and a sliding      All
    D7             C
 along the waterfall  With you,
D7             G      Em
    my brown eyed girl
C      D7           G
 You, my    brown eyed girl

Interlude:

D7                          G
  Do you remember when we used to 
sing

G         C          G          
 So hard to find my way,    Now 
    D
that I'm all on my own
G         C               G      
 I saw you just the other day,    My
 D
 how you have grown
G             C             G   
 Cast my memory back there, Lord
            D
     Sometime I'm overcome thinking 
'bout
G                 C          G  
 Making love in the green grass 
          D7         C
     Behind the stadium with you
D7             G       Em
 My brown eyed girl
C    D7           G
 You my brown eyed girl


REPEAT INTERLUDE & FADE:

Throughout the song, guitar 2 is 
following the chords with some 
picking. I have tabbed
out to give you an idea on how it is
 played. With a guitar part like 
this, I think you
get down the basics and improvise!
