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

Whatever happened to Tuesdays and so slow    
                C       G                  D       G  
Going down the old mine   with a transistor radio

Standing in the sunlight laughing,  hiding behind a rainbow's wall,    
             C       G           D       C           D  
Slipping and sliding   all along the water fall with you,

My brown eyed girl,        you my brown eyed girl

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

Cast my memory back there, Lord  Sometimes I'm overcome thinking 'bout    
                   C           G            D           C      D  
Making love in the green grass   behind the stadium with you,
