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

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

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

 [Chorus]
 F#                     C#
 Come on, Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)
         G#m                 B     C#
 Ah come on, let's take off everything
      F#                   C#
 That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
          G#m                  B     C#
 Ah, come on, let's, ah, come on, Eileen
 F#
 Please…
 (half-speed, getting gradually faster)
 
 [Chorus]
 F#                              A#m
  (Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on)
                      B                                      F#       C#
 (Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
                      Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh, Eileen
 F#                                                  A#m
         (Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on)
 Come on, Eileen, these things they are real, and I know
                     B                               F#                       C#
 (Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
    how you feel       Now I must say more than ever, things round here have changed
 F#                              A#m                                 B                            F#     C#
  (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]
 F#                    C#
 Come on Eileen oh, I swear (well he means)
         G#m              B      C#
 at this moment you mean everything
      F#                     C#
 With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess)
          G#m             B     C#
 verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen
