Prettiest Eyes

This song should really be played in the key of E to be plucked

the same as the recording, but this version will do well for

strummers.

Prettiest Eyes

by Beautiful South

transcribed by Rob Matson

Line One is the time

when you, you first stayed over at mine.

And we drank our first bottle of wine.

Then we cried.

Two, we're away,

and we both, we both had nowhere to stay.

Well the bus shelters always okay,

when you're young.

Now you're older and I look at your face,

Every wrinkle is so easy to place,

And I only write them down just in case

You should die.

CHORUS 1:

Just take a look at these crows feet, just look

Sitting on the prettiest eyes,

Sixty twenty-fifth of Decembers,

Fifty-nine fourth of Julys.

Not through the age or the failure children,

Not through the hate or despise.

Take a good look at these crows feet,

Sitting on the prettiest eyes

VERSE 2:

Line Three, I forget,

But I think, I think it was our first ever bet,

And the horse we backed was short of a leg --

Never mind

Four, in a park,

And the things, the things that people do in the dark.

I could hear the faintest beat of your heart

Then we did.

Repeat BRIDGE

CHORUS 2:

Just take a look at these crows feet, just look

Sitting on the prettiest eyes

60 25th of Decembers

59 4th of Julys

You can't have too many good times children

You can't have too many lines

Take a good look at these crows feet sitting on the prettiest eyes

Well my eyes look like a map of the town

And my teeth are either yellow or they're brown

But you'll never hear the crack of a frown when you are here

No you'll never hear the crack of a frown.

Of a frown...
