this is how I remember it:
Here is the real intro to Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison:
G C
--7--8----10----8---7----|12--13----15----13----12---------
--8-10----12---10---8----|13--15----17----15----13---------
-------------------------|--------------------------------- repeat
-------------------------|---------------------------------
-------------------------|---------------------------------
-------------------------|---------------------------------
D G
5---2---3---5------------|-3-------------------------------
7---3---5---7------------|-0-------------------------------
-------------------------|-0-----(now go into verse)-------
-------------------------|-0-------------------------------
-------------------------|-2-------------------------------
-------------------------|-3-------------------------------
The chords for the verse are G C G D7
after "my brown eyed girl" it goes G Em C D7 G
then
D7
-/10-10---8---7---5--------|
---------------------------|
-/11-11---9---7---5--------|
---------------------------|
---------------------------|
---------------------------|
end the song with D7 G C
I don't own a copy of this song, but I think this is closer than the
previous repost of tab

P.S. the editor screwed up the chord placement above the tab;
each chord starts at the beginning of each measure

I've played this tune for a long time, but it would take me a long time to
write the tab for it, since I haven't really written or used tab much. I
play the tune with first-position chords, just like a typical song book,
and you should be able to find the melody under those chord shapes pretty
readily, at least in A. Here's the tab for the intro and the chord
progression for the tune:
