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

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

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

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