Poor old Johnny Ray
        F                          C                 G
Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono
C
 Our mothers cried
F           F                 C        G
Sang along, who'd blame them
C                               Em
You're grown -you're grown up-, so grown -so grown up-**

at this moment you mean everything
     D                     Gbm

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

Come on Eileen, oh I swear -well he means-

Ah come on let's take off everything
     D                   Gbm
That pretty red dress, Eileen -tell him yes-
        Em                G    A
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen
     D                   Gbm
That pretty red dress, Eileen -tell him yes-
        Em                G     A
Ah come on let's, ah come on Eileen

Too-ra loo-ra too-ra loo-rye-aye

Biography

Dexys Midnight Runners – the name consistently spelled without an apostrophe – were a British post-punk and Northern Soul band who achieved their major success in the early to mid 1980s. The word Dexys in this case, comes from a colloquialism of dextroamphetamine, a type of amphetamine diet pill that was a popular ‘upper’ drug with England’s Northern Soul scene in the 1960s.

Founded in 1978 by former singer of the Killjoys, Kevin Rowland, and guitarist Kevin “Al” Archer
