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

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

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

Come on, Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)
F#m A B
Ah come on, let's take off everything
E B
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
F#m A B
Ah, come on, let's, ah, come on, Eileen
E
Please…
(half-speed, getting gradually faster)

[Chorus]
E G#m
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on)
A E B
(Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh, Eileen
E G#m
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on)
Come on, Eileen, these things they are real, and I know
A E B
(Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
how you feel Now I must say more than ever, things round here have changed
E G#m A E B
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on) (Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye

[Chorus]

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