[Intro 1]
[Am][G][Dm][G][C]

[Verse 1]
Last [G]night,
as I lay on my [Am]pil low
[C]A vision came into m[F]y view
Of a ship sail[G]ing over [Dm]the ocean
And the [G]wind so tremendously [C]blue
On the [G]deck stood a beautiful [Am]maiden
[C]Whose features I had ne 'er seen [F]before
She sobbed for [G]the wrongs [Dm]of her country
As [G]she sailed out from
Erin's green [C]shore[G]
My [D]name, it is
Eileen
Mc[Em]Manus
My [G]age, it is scarcely eight[C]een
And I thank you, [D]dear sir, for [Am]your kindness,
for [D]you don't know how lonely [G]I've been.
For [D]the want of employment [Em]in
Ireland I was [G]forced as an exile to
[C]Rome
Far away from [D]my home [Am]in
Killarney
The [D]place where the green
[G]shanrocks grow
It was [C]then I [G]awoke from my [Am]slumber
To [C]miss my sweet
Eileen
[F]O 'Kree
It was only the [G]face of my [Dm]mother
With a [G]fond smile stood [C]gazing
Now [G]the ship on the ocean [Am]has vanished
In [C]fancy I see her [F]no more
My beautiful
[G]Isle in
[Dm]McManus
The [G]pride of old
Errands
Green
[C]Shore[Em]
[Am]My beautiful
[G]Eileen
[Dm]McManus, the [G]pride of old
Erin's green [F]shore.[C]
You
