You, my brown-eyed girl.

Whatever happened

To Tuesday and so slow

Transistor radio.
C F C
Standing in the sunlight laughing
G*
Hide behind a rainbow's wall,

Slipping and a-sliding

All along the waterfall

With you, my brown-eyed girl,

You, my brown-eyed girl.

Verse III:
C F C
So hard to find my way

Now that I'm all on my own.

Sometime I'm overcome thinking about
C F C
Laughing and Running hey, hey,
G*
Behind the stadium
F G Am* F
With you, my brown-eyed girl,
G C
You, my brown-eyed girl.
Chorus:
G
Do you remember when we used to sing
C F C G*
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
C F C G*
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
C F C G*
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
C F C G*
Sha la la la la la la la la la la dee dah
C
La dee dah.
*The *C's after the chorus and after the solo are a staccato type style played 7x
*When playing the G's and Am's you can add a little walk down to the C and F chords. Like so:
G C Am F
E|--3--3--1--0-----0--|-------------------0---------1--|
B|--0-----------3--1--|--1--3--1--0--1-------1------1--|
G|--0--------------0--|--2----------------------2---2--|
D|--0--------------2--|--2-------------2------------3--|
A|--2--------------3--|--0--------------------------3--|
E|--3-----------------|-----------------------------1--|
This is an optional F walk down to the G, after you've walked down from the Am to the F.
I'm not entirely sure if he does this, I couldn't make it out.
You can either play it or just strum the F chord.

I tabbed this out because I'm playing this for a concert coming up.
I didn't see any tabs of this version on here, so I figured I'd share it with you guys.
Hope you enjoy it. Please make any comments or suggestions you have if I messed up on something.
Your feedback would be awesome.
