[Verse 1]
E
Arrested on charges of unemployment 
       E
He was sittin' in the witness stand 
                               A
The judge's wife called up the district attorney 
       B                    E
Said, "Free that brown-eyed man
                                   A         B          E
If you want your job, you'd better free that brown-eyed man." 

[Verse 2]
E
Flyn' across the desert in the TWA 
        E
I saw a woman walking across the sand 
                               A
She'd been walkin' 30 miles en route to Bombay 
          B                   E
To meet a brown-eyed handsome man
                      A          B        E
Her destination was a brown-eyed handsome man

[Verse 3]
E
Way back in history 3000 years 
     E
Back ever since the world began
               A
There's been a whole lotta good women shedding tears 
      B                   E
For a brown-eyed handsome man 
                       A          B        E
A lot of trouble for a brown-eyed handsome man

[Verse 4]
E
Well, the beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind 
         E
'tween a doctor and a lawyer man 
                               A
Her mother told her, "Darlin', go out
                    B                   E
And find yourself a brown-eyed handsome man
                             A          B        E
That's what your daddy is, a brown-eyed handsome man."

[Verse 5]
E
Milo de Venus was a beautiful lass,
            E
She had the world in the palm of her hand, 
                                A
But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match 
         B                   E
To get a brown-eyed handsome man 
                             A          B        E
She fought and won herself a brown-eyed handsome man

[Verse 6]
E
Two, three, the count with nobody on 
         E
He hit a high fly into the stand
                       A
Round the third he was headin' for home 
         B                   E
He was a brown-eyed handsome man 
                           A          B        E
That won the game, he was a brown-eyed handsome man
