Verse 1:

[F] Hey, where did [Bb] we go? [F] days when the [C7] rains came
[F] Down in the [Bb] hollow [F] playin' a [C7] new game
[F] Laughing and a - [Bb] running, hey hey,
[F] Skipping and a - [C7] jumping
[F] In the misty [Bb] morning fog with
[F] Our [C7] hearts a - thumping and [Bb] you
[C7] My brown-eyed [F] girl [Dm]
[Bb] You, my [C7] brown-eyed girl [F] [C7]

Verse 2:

[F] Whatever [Bb] happened [F] to Tuesday and [C7] so slow
[F] Going down the [Bb] old mine with a [F] transistor [C7] radio
[F] Standing in the [Bb] sunlight laughing
[F] Hiding behind a [C7] rainbow's wall
[F] Slipping and a - [Bb] sliding
[F] All along the [C7] waterfall with [Bb] you
[C7] My brown-eyed [F] girl [Dm]
[Bb] You, my [C7] brown-eyed girl [F]

Chorus:

[C7] Do you remember when we used to [F] sing:
Sha la la [Bb] la la la la [F] la la la la te [C7] da
[F] Sha la la [Bb] la la la la [F] la la la la te [C7] da
La te [F] da [C7]

Verse 2:

[F] So hard to [Bb] find my way, [F] now that I'm all [C7] on my own
[F] I saw you just the [Bb] other day, [F] my, how [C7] you have grown
[F] Cast my memory [Bb] back there, lord
[F] Sometimes I'm [C7] overcome thinking 'bout
[F] Making love in the [Bb] green grass
[F] Behind the [C7] stadium with [Bb] you
[C7] My brown-eyed [F] girl [Dm]
[Bb] You, my [C7] brown-eyed girl [F]

Chorus

Ending:

[F] Sha la la [Bb] la la la la [F] la la la la te [C7] da
