C                Em

Poor old Johnny Ray

        F                          C                 G

Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono

C            Em

 Our mothers cried

F                             C        G

Sang along, who'd blame them

C                               Em

You're grown (you're grown up), so grown (so grown up)

F                             C        G

Now I must say more than ever            (come on Eileen)

C           Em            F

Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye

[Verse]

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

Eileen, I'll hum this tune forever
