BROWN EYED HANDSOME MAN

 

Chuck Berry

 

 

[C] Arrested on charges of unemployment,

He was sitting in the witness stand

The judge's wife called up the [F] district attorney

Said you [G] free that brown eyed [C] man

You want your job you better [Bb] free that brown eyed [C] man

 

[C] Flying across the desert in a TWA,

I saw a woman walking across the sand

She been a-walkin' thirty miles en-[F]-route to Bombay.

To get a [G] brown eyed handsome [C] man

Her destination was a [Bb] brown eyed handsome [C] man

 

[C] Way back in history three thousand years

Back ever since the world began

There's been a whole lot of good women [F] shed a tear

Over a [G] brown eyed handsome [C] man

That's what the trouble was, a [Bb] brown eyed handsome [C] man

 

A [C] beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind

Between a doctor and a lawyer man

Her mother told her darling, better [F] go out and find yourself

A [G] brown eyed handsome [C] man

That's what your daddy was, a [Bb] brown eyed handsome [C] man

 

[C] Milo's Venus was a beautiful lass

She had the world in the palm of her hand

But she lost both her arms in a [F] wrestling match

To get a [G] brown eyed handsome [C] man

She fought and won herself a [Bb] brown eyed handsome [C] man

 

[C] Two, three count with nobody on

He hit a high fly into the stand

Rounding third he was [F] headed for home

It was a [G] brown eyed handsome [C] man

That won the game; it was a [Bb] brown eyed handsome [C] man
