Well since people keep sending corrections, I will incorporate them and
post a complete version.  Thanks to all you who keep sending those 
corrections.   I played it this way and it sounded pretty good.
Please note that this is not all my work but rather various contributions
from people in the group.  I take no credit and don't want any.

       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         
        Laughing, and a running,     hey, hey
       G               D              G                C
        Skipping and a jumping         in the misty morning fog,
             G             D            C     D                G    Em
        with our hearts a thumpin' and you,     my brown eyed girl
       C         D            G          
        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 behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a sliding
All aling the waterfall
With you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
 
bridge: 
	D7
	Do you remember when we used to sing
 
	G         C       G      D7
	Sha la la la la la la la te da   Just like that
 
	G         C       G      D7         G
	Sha la la la la la la la te da  la te da
 
 
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
Sometimes I'm overcome thinkin' 'bout it
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Behind the stadium
With you, my brown eyed girl
You, my brown eyed girl
 
Play bridge again
