[A]

[Verse 1]
[D]It was late one [Bm]Fri [D]day night
I [Bm]was [D]out with a few of the boys
We were [Bm]talking loud
Hav[A]in' ourselves a real
[D]good [Bm]time

[Verse 2]
[D]That's when I first saw Eileen
[Bm]Way [D]down at the end of the bar
She was sit[Bm]tin' all alone
Hav[A]in' herself a real good
[D]cry[Bm]
[D][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[A]
So I went over with [D]my
[A]rum [Bm]and [D]coke[A]
Sat down beside her
And I [D]told her one [A]of my jokes
And through her tears
she started laughing

[Verse 4]
[D]So we introduced ourselves
And [Bm]we t[D]alked just a little bi[Bm]t mo[D]re
But be[Bm]fore too long we
[A]heading towards the [D]door
All [Bm]right

[Verse 5]
[D]She led the way, I was close behind
[Bm]She [D]turned and reached for my hand
Like [Bm]a stranger that [A]I had known before
[D][Bm][D]

[Verse 6]
[A]We got on a subway train
And [D]we rode all [A]night
Sweet sweet goodbye kisses
In [D]the morning [A]light
And [F#m]we were bur[A]ning with desire

[Verse 7]
When I [G]called [D]her on [F#]the phone
There would [Bm]be nobody ho[E]me
And I nev[G]er [D]saw[A] Eileen aga[D]in

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][D]
[Bm][D][A][Bm][G][D][A][Bm][G][A][G]
I re[D]member everything

[Verse 8]
[F#]that
she [G]told [A]me[D]
But [G]why'd [D]she have to go and disappear?

[Verse 9]
Sometime [D]later,
I [Bm]was [D]out with a few of the boys
We were [Bm]talking loud
Hav[A]in' ourselves a real
[D]good [Bm]time
[D]Then came the que[Bm]stion[D]

[Verse 10]
Whatever [D]happened to that [Bm]girl
[D]at the end of the[Bm] bar[D]
Who was [Bm]sit tin' all alone
Hav[A]in' herself a real good
[D]cry[Bm]?
[D][Bm]

[Verse 11]
[A]
We went riding on a subway [D]train[A]
Sweet Eileen was [D]her name
[Bm]And I neve[A]r got to know her
The way I really [F#m]wanted [A]to[Em]
I [A]thought we were connecting

[Verse 12]
I guess I never really got through
[A]
'Cause when [D]I called her on [G]the [F#m]phone
There would [Bm]be nobody ho[E]me
And I [G]never [D]saw[A] Eileen
[D]again
[Bm]

[Verse 13]

When I [G]ride the [D]evening [F#]train
[Bm]Memories re[E]main
And I nev[G]er [D]saw[A] Eileen
again
