Golden Brown, texture like sun 
Dm       C6    Dm           C6 
Lays me down, with my mind she runs 
Dm              C6    Dm          C6 
Throughout the night, no need to fight 
Dm       C6    Dm          C6 
Never a frown with Golden Brown 


Dm  C6   Dm  C6 


Every time, just like the last 
On the ship tied to the mast 
To distant lands, takes both my hands 
Never a frown with Golden Brown 


Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  G  F 
Dm  C6   Dm  C6 


Golden Brown, fine a temptress 
Through the ages she's heading west 
>From far away, stays for a day 
Never a frown with Golden Brown 


Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  F  G6     Am  Em  G  F 
Dm  C6   Dm  C6
