    As young love for you, she told me that you was too young,
                      G7                            C                            G           D7         G
    I wish, the Lord, that I’d never seen your face, I’m sorry you all was born.

G                   D          D7            G
Irene good ni…ght, Irene good night,
                    G7              C                     D        D7         G
good night Irene, good night Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams.

      G                                    D                              D7        G
    Sometimes I lives in the country, sometimes I lives in town,
              G7                               C                   G                  D7          G
    sometimes I have the great notion to jump in into the river and drown.

G                   D          D7            G
Irene good ni…ght, Irene good night,
                    G7              C                     D        D7         G
good night Irene, good night Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams.

              G                           D                                      D7      G
    Stop rambling and stop gambling, quit staying out late at night
                                    G7                  C                 G                D7          G
    go home unto your wife and your family, stay down by the fireside bright.

G                   D          D7            G
Irene good ni…ght, Irene good night,
                    G7              C                     D        D7         G
good night Irene, good night Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams.

      G                            D                                        D7          G
    I loves Irene, God knows I do, loves her till the sea runs dry,
   G7                         C                                  G             D7          G
    if Irene turns her back on me, I'm gonna take morphine and die.

G                   D          D7            G
Irene good ni…ght, Irene good night,
                    G7              C                     D        D7         G
good night Irene, good night Irene, I’ll see you in my dreams.
