Yeah, I know it's a cheesy song, but I was having fun playing the
chords the other night, so I thought I'd post it.  I don't even
remember who did this song back in the 70's.  (So why dontcha put
it in the "Various_Artists" directory when you archive it, James.)


DON'T IT MAKE MY BROWN EYES BLUE (Richard Leigh)
------------------------------------------------
[Each chord is half of a 4/4 measure]

                     
[intro]

                                  
   Don't know when       I've been so blue
                      -5  
   Don't know what's come over you
                        
   You've found someone new
                                  
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

I'll be fine when you're gone
I'll just cry all night long
Say it isn't true
                                  
And don't it make my brown eyes blue

                                    
   Tell me no secrets,     tell me some lies
                                 
   Give me no reasons, give me     alibis
                                  
   Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
                            
   Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
                                             
And don't it make my brown eyes, don't it make my brown eyes
                                     
Don't it make my brown eyes blue.

[Repeat the last four measures for as long as you want, then end on C
or play the intro over and over and then end on C.]

Here's a little bit of tab for the intro; the spacing/timing is CORRECT.
Fill in your own chords and bass and hammer-ons and stuff...
