          D
	Flying across the desert in a TWA

	I saw a woman walking across the sand

	She been a-walkin' thirty miles en route to L.A.
                   A                  D
	To get a brown eyed handsome man

	She had the world in the palm of her hand
                                          G
	But she lost both her arms in a wrestling match
                   A                  D
	To get a brown eyed handsome man
                                       C/G                D
	She fought and won herself a brown eyed handsome man

         G
	Way back in history three thousand years
               D
	Back every since the world began
                                      G
	There's been a lot of good women shed a tear
                A                  D
	For a brown eyed handsome man
                                      C/G                D

         E
	Beautiful daughter couldn't make up her mind

	Between a doctor and a lawyer man
                                        A
	Her mother told her daughter go out and find yourself

                                    D                  E
	Just like your daddy is a brown eyed handsome man

	The judge's wife called up the district attorney
                   B                   E
	Said you free that brown eyed man
                                       D                   E
