Dexy's Midnight Runners - Come On Eileen


F C F Bb Bb F C              C Em F C G
C                      Em
Poor old Johnny Ray
             F                                      C                      G
Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono
C
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                            F#m
Come on Eileen oh, I swear (well he means)
          Em                      G         A
at this moment you mean everything
        D                             F#m
With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess)
             Em                  G      A
verge on dirty, Ah come on Eileen

           A   A   C        Em   F   C   G
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 for ever

D                            F#m
Come on Eileen, oh I swear (well he means)
             Em                     G       A
Ah come on let's take off everything
        D                          F#m
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
             Em                    G      A
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
        D                          F#m
That pretty red dress, Eileen (tell him yes)
             Em                    G      A
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
D
Please
D
Come on Eileen too-loo rye-[F#m]aye come on
D
Eileen too-loo rye-ay toora toora-too-loora

G                                                          D       A
Now you have grown, now you have shown, oh Eileen
D                                                    F#m
Come on Eileen, these things they are real and I know
                   G
how you feel Now I must say more than ever
D                               A
things round here have changed
D                  F#m                G          D         A
Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye

CHORUS
