Intro: C Em F C G (2x)
 

verse 1 

C               Em 
Poor old Johnny Ray 
        F                          C                 G 
Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono 
C             Em 
  Our mothers cried 
F                            C G 
Sang along, who'd blame them 
C                               Em 
You're grown (you're grown up), so grown (so grown up) 
F                             C G 
Now I must say more than ever     (come on Eileen) 
C           Em            F 
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye 
           C                  G 
and we can sing just like our fathers 


D                    F#m 
Come on Eileen oh, I swear (well he means) 
        Em              G      A 
at this moment you mean everything 
     D                     F#m 
With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess) 
         Em             G     A 
verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen 


C Em F C G (2x) 


verse 2 

C                  Em 
These people round here 
            F 
wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces, 
      C                    G 
so resigned to what their fate is 
    C                    Em 
but not us (no never) no not us (no never) 
F                               C G 
we are far too young and clever     remember 
C           Em            F 
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye 
            C                 G 
Eileen I'll hum this tune for ever 


D                    F#m 
Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means) 
        Em                G     A 
Ah come on let's take off everything 
     D                   F#m 
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes) 
        Em                G    A 
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen 
     D                   F#m 
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes) 
        Em                G     A 
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen 


Outro:
 
D                             F#m 
  Come on, Eileen too-loo-rye-aye 
                            Em                            G        A 
Come on, Eileen too-loo-rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loo-rye  ooooh Eileen  
        D 
I said: come on, Eileen  
   F#m 
Oh come on, Eileen 
Em             
We are far too young and clever 
G                 A 
Things won't ever change and I say 
D           F#m           Em  G A 
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye 
D                    F#m 
Come On Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)  
        Em              G    A        D 
At this moment you mean everything to me 
F#m        Em G A 
    Oh, to me 
    D      F#m 
Oh, Eileen 
         Em   G 
You mean everything
