“Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison was originally released on the album “Blowin’ Your Mind” in 1967.
According to Van Morrison, the song was originally titled “Brown Skinned Girl” and over time he changed it to the title it is now known by.

Always a big hit (especially with the ladies) and a must know campfire song.

    Wow there are so many things to factor in when buying a guitar. I always look at it as an investment…you are usually going to get what you pay for. You want something that will sound good, last, and not break the bank. Things to consider what’s your budget? What type of music do you play? Where will you be playing it? Email me and we can talk more. My guitar is a 6 year old Ibanez I got for $300 but sounds great. I upgraded a few minor things for a couple bucks. It’s priceless to me now!!

    If you are talking about the lead in before you play the chorus then it’s 200033. During the chorus it’s a D7…which is X00212

    You start by playing the top string (3rd fret) which is a g. Then you walk it down by hitting the top string (2nd fret) f# i think and then play an Em chord. Hope this helps and good luck
