Big Brown Eyes Tab

by Old 97s


                         
Big brown eyes, and a gust of wind,
                           
And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says ";The end
                             
Is coming soon,"; but not soon enough.
                                
Restring all your guitars. Pack up all your stuff.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
'Cause if Robert's dad is right,
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
We might not make it through the night,
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
And I'd hate to go alone.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on, G
Please pick up the phone.
                            
Well a box of red, and a pill or three,
                              
And I'm calling time and temperature just for some company.
                               
I wish you were here. I wish I was too.
                                 
I'll drink myself to sleeplessness, I always do.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
You don't want me anymore,
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
Since fame and fortune broke down our door.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
 You don't give me no respect.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
What did I expect?
                            
If that phone don't ring one more time,
                              
I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind.
                                
You made a big impression for a girl of your size,
                                   
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.
G                                      D                                 D   A minor 
pull of 1st, hammer on
                              
Her hands are cold, her breath is warm,
        GG GG 
She's a port in a storm.
                           
I'm worried now, but it won't be long.
                                   
It takes a worried man, you know, to sing a worried song.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
I've got issues, yeah.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
Like I miss you, yeah.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
And I wish I weren't so thick.
  A minor then pull of 1st, hammer on
I'm making myself sick.
                            
If that phone don't ring one more time,
                              
I'm gonna lose what's left of my mind.
                                
You made a big impression for a girl of your size,
                                   
Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.
