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

DA
Come on Eileen oh, I swear (well he means)
EmGA
at this moment you mean everything
DA
With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess)
EmGA
verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen

[Verse 2]
CEm
These people round here
F
wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces,
CG
so resigned to what their fate is
CEm
but not us (no never) no not us (no never)
FCG
we are far too young and clever (remember)
CEmF
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye
CG
Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever
[Fill]

Come on, Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)
EmGA
Ah come on, let's take off everything
DA
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
EmGA
Ah, come on, let's, ah, come on, Eileen
DA
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
EmGA
Ah, come on, let's, ah, come on, Eileen

Please...
