Brown Eyed Girl
Recorded by Everclear (by Van Morrison)
Capo: 1
Note: I thought another chart of this song was needed. The only other chart posted for the Everclear
version of Van Morrison's classic song doesn't include the lyrics or chords that are unique to the
Everclear's recording. The comments posted by one user authoritatively puts the song in the key of A,
when the recording is actually in the key of G#. I don't claim this chart to be error free, but it's
more true to the Everclear version than the alternative.

Oooh, I hear a song makes me think of a girl I used to know
Oooh, I sing along when I hear it on the radio now
Hey, now here we go, ooh yeah days when the rains came
Way down in the hollow, ooh yeah playin' a new game
Laughin' and a runnin', hey hey hey, skippin' and a jumpin'
In the misty mornin' fog, ? oh baby our hearts are thumpin'
And you, my brown eyed girl (my brown eyed girl, x2)
And you, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when, yeah, we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
La la, I hear a song makes me think of a girl I used to know
// hey, // hey, // hey

La la la, I sing along when I hear it on the radio now
Ooh, now that the year's gone by, yeah now that I'm on my own.
I saw you just the other day, yeah, my-my, baby, you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome just thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl (my brown eyed girl, my brown eyed girl)
You, my brown eyed girl (my brown eyed girl, my brown eyed girl)
You, my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when, yeah, we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la
