"Come On Eileen"

F C F Bb
Bbm F C C x2 then swirl down

C Em F C G
Come on Eileen
Come on Eileen

Poor old Johnnie Ray
Sounded sad upon the radio
But he moved a million hearts in mono
Our mothers cried
Sang along
Who'd blame them?

You've grown
So grown
Now I must say more than ever
Come on Eileen

Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
And we can sing just like our fathers D-E

D F#m G D A
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear (what he means)
At this moment you mean everything

You in that dress
My thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Oh, come on Eileen
A, swirl up

C Em F C G
Come on Eileen

These people 'round here
Wear beaten-down eyes sunk in smoke-dried face
So resigned to what their fate is

But not us
No, not us
We are far too young and clever
Remember

Too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye, aye
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever D-E

D F#m G D A
Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear what
Ah, come on let's take off everything

Pretty red dress
Eileen
Ah, come on let's
Ah, come on Eileen

Pretty red dress
Eileen
Ah, come on let's
Ah, come on Eileen, please

Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Come on Eileen, too-loo-rye-aye
Now you're all grown
Now you have shown
Oh, Eileen

Say, come on Eileen
These things they are real
And I know how you feel
Now I must say more than ever
Things 'round here have changed

I say, too-ra-loo-ra, too-ra-loo-rye-aye

Come on Eileen
Oh, I swear
At this moment you mean everything

You in that dress,
My thoughts I confess
Verge on dirty
Ah, come on Eileen

Ah, come on Eileen
Oh, I swear
At this moment you mean everything

You in that dress,
My thoughts I confess
Well, they're dirty
Come on Eileen
