During song

5 -5   6 -6  -7 7  
Poor old Johnny Ray
8 8 8 -8 -8 -7 -7 7 7 
Sounded sad upon the radio
-7 -7 7 7 7 6 -6 7
Moved a million hearts in mono
5 6 4 3 
Our mothers cried
8 8 8 -7    8 8 -7
And sang along, who'd blame them

5 7    5 -7 7 
You're grown, so grown
7 -6 6 -5   7 -6 6 -5
Now I must say more than ever
5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 -8 8 -7
Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
-7 -7 -7 -7 7 7 6 -6 7 
And we can sing just like our fathers


4 3 -3 -4* (-4* -4*)
Come on Eileen (I swear)
-4 3 -3 -4
well he means
-3 -3 6 -6
At this moment
3 3 -6 6 -5 
You mean everything
4 3 -3 -4* (-4* -4*)
With you in that dress (my thoughts)
-4 3 3 -4 
I confess 
-3 -3 6 -6
verge on dirty 
3 3 -6 6 -5
Ah come on Eileen.

5  -5  6 -6  -7  7  
These people round here 
8 8 8 -7 -7 8 8 8 -7 -7 7
Wear beaten down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
7 -7 7 6 -6 7 
They're so resigned to what their fate is
5 5 7    5 -7 7 
But not us, not us
7 -6 6 -5    7 -6 6 -5
we are far too young and clever.
5 -5 6 -6 7 -7 -8 8 -7
Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye 
-7 -7 -7 -7 7 7 6 -6 7 
Eileen I'll hum this tune forever. 

Come on Eileen, I swear, well he means 
Ah come on let's take off everything, 
That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes) 
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
