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

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

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

[Instrumental]

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

[Chorus]
B D#m
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on)

(Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh, Eileen
B D#m
(Come on, Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, come on)
Come on, Eileen, these things they are real, and I know
E B F#
(Eileen, too-loo rye-aye, toora, toora-too-loora)
how you feel Now I must say more than ever, things round here have changed
B D#m E B F#
(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]
B F#
Come on Eileen oh, I swear (well he means)
C#m E F#
at this moment you mean everything
B F#
With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess)
C#m E F#
verge on dirty, ah come on Eileen
