Brown Eyed Girl
Recorded by Everclear (by Van Morrison)
Capo: 1
Note: I thought another chart of this song was needed. The only other chart posted for the Everclear
version of Van Morrison's classic song doesn't include the lyrics or chords that are unique to the
Everclear's recording. The comments posted by one user authoritatively puts the song in the key of A,
when the recording is actually in the key of G#. I don't claim this chart to be error free, but it's
more true to the Everclear version than the alternative.
