This was the first song attempted this year. A great song, written in 4/4 with an 8th-note Rock feel. With Patrick’s expertise, we changed it to Reggae, or is it Ska?
This, released in 1967, would be Van Morrison's signature song.
Introduction by drums, folowed by guitar.
G C G D
Hey, where did we go days when the rain came
G C G D
Down in the hollow playing a new game
G C G D
Laughing, and a running, hey, hey, Skipping and a jumping
G C G D
In the misty morning fog, with our hearts a thumpin' and
C D G Em
You, my brown eyed girl
C D G D
You, my brown eyed girl
Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine with a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing, hiding ‘hind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a sliding, hey, hey, All along the waterfall 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 la te da Just like that
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la te da la te da
Bass solo here, followed by a an instrumental interlude played with a latinish sound. Keys could use a steel drum sound.
So hard to find my way, Now that I'm on my own
I saw you just the other day, my, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there Lord. Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
S Makin' 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 la te da
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la te da
Finish here like introduction.
