Verse:
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

Chorus:
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

Verse:
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

Chorus:
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
