[Intro]
G   C   G   D
G   C   G   D
 
[Verse 1]
G                C      G               D
   Hey where did we go,   days when the rains came
G              C       G           D
   Down in the hollow,   playin' a new game
G                 C                 G                D
   Laughin' and a-runnin' hey, hey,   skippin’ and a-jumpin’
G               C                 G         D                    C
   In the misty mornin' fog with,   ah, our hearts thumpin' and you
D                G     Em   C          D           G      D7
   My brown-eyed girl,        you’re my brown-eyed girl
 
[Verse 2]
G                  C     G                 D
   And whatever happened,  to Tuesday and so slow
G                 C               G            D
   Goin’ down the old mine with a   transistor radio
G                  C                  G                 D
   Standin’ in the sunlight laughin’,   hidin’ behind a rainbow's wall
G                 C       G               D                C
   Slippin’ and a-slidin’   all along the waterfall with you
D                G     Em   C          D           G
   My brown-eyed girl,        you’re my brown-eyed girl
 
[Chorus]
D7
   Do you remember when we used to sing
G          C           G              D
 Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da (just like that)
G           C           G              D         G
  Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da, la te da
 
[Bass Solo]
G   C   G   D
 
[Verse 3]
G               C          G                 D
   So hard to find my way,   now that I'm all on my own
G                     C          G         D
   I saw you just the other day,   my, how you have grown
G                 C                 G               D
   Cast my memory back there, Lord,   sometimes I'm overcome thinkin’ about
G                     C            G            D            C
   Makin’ love in the green grass,   behind the stadium with you
D                G     Em   C            D           G
   My brown-eyed girl,        a-you’re my brown-eyed girl
 
[Chorus]
D7
   Do you remember when we used to sing
G           C           G              D
  Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
G           C           G              D
  Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
G           C           G              D
  Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
G           C           G              D
  Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
