Eileen by Jonathan Kelly Tuning: DADGBE D F#m Bm Bm7 Eileen, don�t you remember, don�t you remember me? G2 D A7 I was your secret boyfriend, when you were just seventeen D F#m Bm7 Eileen my sister was right when she said we could never be G2 D A D Dsus4 D I was all in orange, but you were all in green G1 D Dsus4 D Ah but I loved you, pure and sweet as a mountain stream, G1 D Ah but I loved you soft as the rain on the cobbled street A2 Bm You could never tell your mother about me (ba da da da dum) A2 Bm Your brother would have come to sort me out (ba da da da dum) A2 Bm And though you were the sweetest thing that I had ever seen Em7 A7 It would always come down, Em7 A7 it would always come down, Em7 A7 (no chord) D Dsus4 D It must always come down to the orange and the green At nights we sat by your gas fire, music on the radio Our favourite was the Merseybeats� �We�ve Got a Groovy Kind of Love.� Then we�d lie on your bed and we�d kiss, and we�d kiss and we�d kiss some more Clandestine lovers, with no place to go Ah but I loved you, pure and sweet as a mountain stream, Ah but I loved you soft as the rain on the cobbled street The last time that we met I knew it was over (ba da da da dum) I could see the sad resignation in your eyes (ba da da da dum) Just made you look more beautiful, so contrite and serene �Cos it must always come down, It must always come down, It must always come down to the orange and the green Suppose you got married, got children, grandchildren now I guess Suppose your life�s been good to you I hope that you�ve been blessed. I�m sending out this message to you Eileen just to make you smile And remember a sad-faced ragged boy, that you once loved for a while Ah but I loved you, pure and sweet as a mountain stream, Ah but I loved you soft as the rain on the cobbled street It�s forty years on since we walked together Hand in hand down O�Connell Street The world has changed a lot since then but enough as I have seen �Cos still it always comes down Still it always comes down, It still always comes down to the orange and the green. Eileen, don�t you remember, don�t you remember me...? D F#m Bm Bm7 G2 G1 A2 Em7 2 2 2 2 3 0 3 5 0 3 2 3 3 3 2 0 5 3 2 2 4 4 4 0 0 6 0 0 4 4 4 5 2 0 7 2 0 4 2 0 5 0 2 7 2 0 X X X X X X X X
