Poor old Johnny Ray
        G                          D                 A
Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono
D            F#m
 Our mothers cried
G                             D                    A
Sang along, who'd blame them, Doo Doo Doo Doo Dooo
D                               F#m
You're grown (you're grown up), so grown (so grown up)
G                             D                    A
Now I must say more than ever, Doo Doo Doo Doo Dooo (come on Eileen)

Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aaaye

at this moment you mean every--thing
     E                     B
With you in that dress, my thoughts (I confess)
        F#m                A     B
verge on dirty..., ah come on Ei--leen

|B       |B       |D       |F#m      |G       |D   A   |

D                  F#m
These people round here
            G
wear beaten--down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces,
      D                     A
so re--signed to what their fate is
    D                    F#m
but not us (no never) no not us (no never)
G                                D                   A
we are far too young and clever, Doo Doo Doo Doo Dooo (remember)
D           F#m           G
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aaaye
             D                 A

Ah come on, let's take off every--thing
     E                    B
That pretty red dress, Ei--leen (tell him yes)
         F#m                 A      B
Ah, come on, let's, ah, come on, Ei--leeeen
