Van Morrisson - Brown Eyed Girl

Here's another classic that needs just 4 easy chords. Just make up the lalalala stuff when you get to it!

Notice how I'm being careful with the spacing eg
[G] Down in the [C]hollow,
'Down' is just after the beat, whereas 'hollow' is smack on.

I sometimes use * to indicate a half-beat, and later count through individual beats if its tricky

Chords

[C] = x32010
[G] = 320003
[D7] = 2120xx
[Em] = 022000

Whatever happened?
Tuesday went so slow ..

Hiding behind a rainbow's wall

All along the waterfall ...

You, my brown eyed girl
