The Dubliners – Eileen Og (Guitar)

 Am 
Eileen Og an' that the darlin's name is

 G 
Through the Barony her features they were famous

 Am 
If we loved her then who was there to blame us

     Em                      Am            Em    Am 
For wasn't she the Pride of Petravore?

 F            C 
But her beauty made us all so shy

 Em             Am 
Not a man could look her in the eye

 F            C 
Boys, Oh boys, sure that's the reason why

         Em                         Am          Em      Am 
We're in mournin' for the Pride of Petravore 

   Am         C 
:Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,

 F                    Am 
Ever since the day you wandered far away

 Am              C 
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,

 F                                        Am        Em    Am 
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore

 Am 
Friday at the fair of Ballintubber

 G 
Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber

 Am 
I'd like to set me mark upon the robber

 Em                             Am          Em     Am 
For he stole away the Pride of Petravore

 F            C 
He never seemed to see the girl at all

 Em                      Am 
Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl

 F                       C 
Lookin' big and masterful when she was lookin' small

 Em                             Am         Em     Am 
Most provokin' for the Pride of Petravore 

 Am 
So it went as 'twas in the beginning

 G 
Eileen Og was bent upon the winning

 Am 
Big McGrath contentedly was grinning

 Em                            Am       Em     Am 
Being courted by the Pride of Petravore

 F                                                    C 
Sez he: "I know a girl that could knock you into fits"

 Em                   Am 
At that Eileen nearly lost her wits

 F                        C 
The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits

 Em                               Am         Em     Am 
With his arm around the Pride of Petravore 

 F          C 
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,

 Em                 Am 
Ever since the day you wandered far away

 F               C 
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,

 Em                                        Am       Em    Am 
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore

 Am 
Boys, Oh boys, with fate 'tis hard to grapple

 G 
Of my eyes 'tis Eileen was the apple

 Am 
Now to see her walkin' to the chapel

 Em                              Am        Em     Am 
With the hardest featured man in Petravore

 F               C 
Now, boys, this is all I have to say:

 Em                    Am 
When you do your courtin' make no display

 F                           C 
If you want them to run after you, just walk the other way

 Em                                  Am        Em     Am 
For they're mostly like the Pride of Petravore 

 F           C 
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,

 Em                 Am 
Ever since the day you wandered far away

 F               C 
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,

 Em                                        Am       Em    Am 
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore
