Verso 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                    A 
Come on Eileen oh, I swear (well he means)

at this moment you mean everything  
     D                      A 
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)  


Verso 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                    A 
Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)  
        Em                G     A  
Ah come on let's take off everything  
     D                   A  
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

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

    Oh, to me  
    D      F#m  
Oh, Eileen  
         Em   G
