Those Brown Eyes lyrics and guitar chords

This is one of my favorite songs from Johnny.THOSE BROWN EYES 3/4 (Johnny McEvoy)
Capo on 2nd fret. I have also given the chords in the key of D Major. This old song was also recorded by John Hogan, Sean O'Farrell, The Kingston Trio and Ann Breen to name a few.
Intro: G-D-D7-G
 
Chorus:
(C)Those brown eyes I loved so (G)well.
(C)Those brown eyes I long to (G)see.
How I long for those brown (D)eyes.
Strangers they have (D7)grown to (G)be.
 
(G)Just a year ago to(D)day,
When my (D7)Brown eyes went a(G)way,
Up in heaven I long to (D)be,
Where a brown eyed (D7)angle waits for (G)me
 
Chorus 
 
(C)Those brown eyes I loved so (G)well.
[C]Those brown eyes I long to (G)see.
How I long for those brown (D)eyes.
Strangers (D7)they have grown to (G)be.
 
Chorus
 
Last (G)night I passed her on the (D)street,
I bowed my (D7)head 'cause I could not (G)speak
Another man was at her (D)side,
Soon I (D7)thought she'd be his (G)bride
 
Chorus
 
'Twas (G)just a year ago to(D)day,
They laid my (D7)own brown eyes a(G)way.
Six long years for me she (D)cried.
It was her (D7)brother by her (G)side.
 
Chorus twice
​Here's the chords in the key of D
