Dexy's midnight runners
Come on Eileen

      


[vers 1]
[C]Poor old Johnny R[Em]ay
Sounded [F]sad upon the radio 
moved a [C]million hearts in [G]mono
[C]Our mothers cried
[F]Sang along, [F]who'd blame them  [C]  [G]  
[C]You're grown (you're grown up), 
[Em]so grown (so grown up)
[F]Now I must say more than ever [C]     [G] (come on Eileen)
[C]Toora-loora-[Em]toora-loo-rye-[F]aye
and we can [C]sing just like our [G]fathers

[višlag]
[D]Come on Eileen oh, I [F#m]swear (well he means)
at this [Em]moment you mean [G]every[A]thing
With [D]you in that dress, my [F#m]thoughts (I confess)
verge on [Em]dirty, Ah come [G]on Eil[A]een

[vers 2]
[C]These people round [Em]here
wear beaten-[F]down eyes sunk in smoke-dried faces,
so re[C]signed to what their [G]fate is
but [C]not us (no never) no [Em]not us (no never)

we are far too young and clever 
[C] [G] (come on Eileen)
[C]Toora-loora-[Em]toora-loo-rye-[F]aye
Eileen I'll [C]hum this tune for [G]ever

[višlag]
[D]Come on Eileen, oh I [F#m]swear  (well he means)
Ah come [Em]on let's take off [G]every[A]thing

That [D]pretty red dress, Ei[F#m]leen  (tell him yes)
Ah come [E]on let's, ah come [G]on Ei[A]leen
That [D]pretty red dress, Ei[F#m]leen (tell him yes)
Ah come [Em]on let's, ah come [G]on Ei[A]leen

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