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

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

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

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