Laughin'
and
a
C
runnin'
hey,

G
skipping
and
a
D7
jumping
G
In

the

slow
Going

mine
G
with
a
transistor
D7
radio
Standing
in
the
C
sunlight
laughing,

fall
with

you,

Em
My
D7
brown
G

Coach tips
- ✦Brown Eyed Girl runs almost entirely on four chords — G, C, D7, Em. Master the G→C→G→D7 loop and you've got 90% of the song covered.
- ✦The iconic 'My brown eyed girl' line uses a G→Em→C→D7→G progression — practice that five-chord turnaround slowly until the Em change feels natural between the G and C.
- ✦Use D7 instead of plain D throughout — it's the chord Van Morrison's original uses and it gives that classic 1960s feel with just one finger change from a standard D shape (lift your pinky).
- ✦The strumming feel is a bouncy D-D-DU-D-DU shuffle at around 148 BPM — keep your wrist loose and accent beats 2 and 4 to lock in with the snare drum.
