Вступление
[Verse 1]
B F#
When I was a young man I carried my pack
F#7 B
Went down to the river and I brought a whale back
B E
I tilted my crown and parded through town
F# F#7 B
But I lost all my dough at the track
B F#
See, I'm just a dandy like father before
F#7 B
I learned from my mother stay close to the shore
B E
But I bought a big boat, pinned a rose to my coat
F# F#7 B
And I'll fight if they send me to war
B F#
'Cause I shot a fox as he drank from the pond
F#7 B
I looked in his eyes as he met the beyond
B E
I sat there and cried as my wife tanned his hide
F# F#7 B
Man, I still don't know which side I'm on
B F#
So if orange is thе sunset then red is thе rise
F#7 B
I saw the ships coming from the shape of your eyes
B E
I kissed your red lips as I boarded my ship
F# F#7 B
Maybe this time is my time to die
[Chorus]
B
Green eyes to my surprise
F# B
Oh, green eyes to my surprise
B E
You'll see me cry while beside you I lie
F# F#7 B
Honey, that's how I'll tell you goodbye
[Verse 2]
B F#
So I tell the old stories but no one believes
F#7 B
They think there's some trick hiding up in my sleeve
B E
But I do declare that my uncles ate bears
F# F#7 B
And my aunties made rings with their teeth
B F#
Oh, I'll help you, Rhonda, if you stay by my side
F#7 B
When the heavenly flood fills the world to the sky
B E
Your love is so sweet but there's blood in the street
F# F#7 B
So with you my dear Rhonda I'll die
B F#
And now every August I haul my old stone
F#7 B
Way up to the mountain and I set up my throne
B E
The sheep give us wool 'til our bellies are full
F# F#7 B
And the little ones chew on the bones
[Chorus]
B
Green eyes to my surprise
F# B
Oh, green eyes to my surprise
B E
You'll see me cry while beside you I lie
F# F#7 B
Honey, that's how I'll tell you goodbye
[Verse 3]
B F#
Now my mother's mom was a singer, you see
F#7 B
But she died in nineteen and seventy-three
B E
The next year I was born and since then I have sworn
F# F#7 B
I can hear her voice singing to me
[Outro]
F# F#7 B
And honey, that's how I'll tell you goodbye
