Brown Eyed Girl by the legendary Van Morrison is an easy song to play - all beginners welcome. The 4 simple chords, G, C, D and E minor will be amongst the first you learn.
Note that we're keeping the two longer fingers on the string for the C and E minor in this lesson. You're welcome to use the traditional versions of these chords too.
Hey where did we go, Days when the rains came Down in the hollow, Playin' a new game, Laughing and a running hey, hey Skipping and a jumping In the misty morning fog with Our hearts a thumpin' and you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl.
Whatever happened To Tuesday and so slow Going down the old mine With a transistor radio Standing in the sunlight laughing, Hiding behind a rainbow's wall, Slipping and sliding All along the water fall, with you My brown eyed girl, You my brown eyed girl.
Do you remember when we used to sing, Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da
So hard to find my way, Now that I'm all on my own. I saw you just the other day, My how you have grown, Cast my memory back there, Lord Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout Making love in the green grass Behind the stadium with you My brown eyed girl You my brown eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.
I still can't figure out the strumming pattern. How do I know the right pattern to play without it sounding...wrong?
