Eileen Og chords by The Dubliners

Chords with lyrics

[A minorAm]
Eileen Og an' that the darlin's name is
[G+G]
Through the Barony her features they were famous
[A minorAm]
If we loved her then who was there to blame us
  [E minorEm]          [A minorAm]     [E minorEm] [A minorAm]
For wasn't she the Pride of Petravore?
[A minorAm]     [C majorC]
But her beauty made us all so shy
[E minorEm]      [A minorAm]
Not a man could look her in the eye
[A minorAm]     [C majorC]
Boys, Oh boys, sure that's the reason why
    [E minorEm]            [A minorAm]    [E minorEm]  [A minorAm]
We're in mournin' for the Pride of Petravore

 [A minorAm]    [C majorC]
:Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
[E minorEm]         [A minorAm]
Ever since the day you wandered far away
[A minorAm]      [C majorC]
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,
[E minorEm]                   [A minorAm]   [E minorEm] [A minorAm]
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore

[A minorAm]
Friday at the fair of Ballintubber
[G+G]
Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber
[A minorAm]
I'd like to set me mark upon the robber
[E minorEm]              [A minorAm]    [E minorEm]  [A minorAm]
For he stole away the Pride of Petravore
[A minorAm]      [C majorC]
He never seemed to see the girl at all
[E minorEm]          [A minorAm]
Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl
[A minorAm]           [C majorC]
Lookin' big and masterful when she was lookin' small
[E minorEm]              [A minorAm]    [E minorEm]  [A minorAm]
Most provokin' for the Pride of Petravore

[A minorAm]
So it went as 'twas in the beginning
[G+G]
Eileen Og was bent upon the winning
[A minorAm]
Big McGrath contentedly was grinning
[E minorEm]             [A minorAm]   [E minorEm]  [A minorAm]
Being courted by the Pride of Petravore
[A minorAm]                         [C majorC]
Sez he: "I know a girl that could knock you into fits"
[E minorEm]         [A minorAm]
At that Eileen nearly lost her wits
[A minorAm]           [C majorC]
The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits
[E minorEm]               [A minorAm]    [E minorEm]  [A minorAm]
With his arm around the Pride of Petravore

[A minorAm]    [C majorC]
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
[E minorEm]        [A minorAm]
Ever since the day you wandered far away
[A minorAm]       [C majorC]
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,
[E minorEm]                   [A minorAm]   [E minorEm] [A minorAm]
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore


[A minorAm]
Boys, Oh boys, with fate 'tis hard to grapple
[G+G]
Of my eyes 'tis Eileen was the apple
[A minorAm]
Now to see her walkin' to the chapel
[E minorEm]              [A minorAm]   [E minorEm]  [A minorAm]
With the hardest featured man in Petravore
[A minorAm]       [C majorC]
Now, boys, this is all I have to say:
[E minorEm]         [A minorAm]
When you do your courtin' make no display
[A minorAm]             [C majorC]
If you want them to run after you, just walk the other way
[E minorEm]                [A minorAm]   [E minorEm]  [A minorAm]
For they're mostly like the Pride of Petravore


[A minorAm]     [C majorC]
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
[E minorEm]        [A minorAm]
Ever since the day you wandered far away
[A minorAm]       [C majorC]
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,
[E minorEm]                   [A minorAm]   [E minorEm] [A minorAm]
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore
