C G C G
now my work is done
C G C G
I feel I'm owed some joy
C G F G C
oh Imogene and Abelard
G C G
I'm your homeward boy
C G C G
but there's another one
C G C G
who brings me to your door
C G F G
and the boat she weaved from the tidal reeds
C G C G
was always tied to shore
C G C G
with bright smiles and dark eyes
C G F G
bright smile dark eyes
C G F
everywhere I went oh
G C
I was always searching for ya
C G F G
bright smile dark eyes
C G C G
I'm looking for some peace
C G C G
but it's so hard to find
...
with Calamity Janes and the Steamboat Casanovas
and Darling Clementines
if she's your only one
then she is also mine
just pin your heartbeat up against my heartbeat
and you'll see how well we rhyme
with bright smiles and dark eyes
C G F G
bright smile dark eyes
C G F
everywhere I went oh
G C
I was always looking for ya
C G F G
bright smile dark eyes
Am G C
man is only half himself
F G
the other half is a bright thing
Am G C
he tumbles on by luck or grace
F G
for man is ever a blind thing
C G C G ....
bright smiles and dark eyes
C G F G
bright smile dark eyes
C G F
everywhere I went oh
G C
I was always looking for ya
C G F G
bright smile dark eyes
