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

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

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

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