D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
In a town on the sea
G G 
 
by the castle Donain,
A A 
 
G G 
 
The fairest of all was the maiden Irene.
D D 
 
The bloom on her cheek
G G 
 
was as fresh as the dew,
A A 
 
And her heart to a
G G 
 
D D 
 
young fisher lad he was true.
A A 
 
At morn he would sail
D D 
 
with the sun and the tide,
At eve would return
F#m F#m 
 
E E 
 
A A 
 
to    his promised young bride,
D D 
 
And there on the shore
G G 
 
she could hear it so plain,
A A 
 
His voice in the wind
G G 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
singing soft this refrain,
D D 
 
Eileen, my Eileen,
Em Em 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
oh, wait for me, my Eileen.
They were to be wed
G G 
 
on a Sunday in May.
A A 
 
In faith it was a joy
G G 
 
D D 
 
to see Eileen so gay.
The morning before he
G G 
 
set sail with the tide,
A A 
 
But he never returned
G G 
 
D D 
 
to his promised young bride.
A A 
 
No, no, nevermore was her heart
D D 
 
light and warm,
F#m F#m 
 
A lover he died,
Bm Bm 
 
E E 
 
A A 
 
yes, he died in a storm.
D D 
 
They say that her heart it
G G 
 
was broken in two
A A 
 
The lovely Eileen,
G G 
 
D D 
 
oh so young an d so true
And down by the shore,
G G 
 
they who loved her the best
A A 
 
By the rock where she waited,
Em Em 
 
Gm Gm 
 
D D 
 
they let her to rest
A A 
 
Oh, many the years
D D 
 
that have passed since that day,
But maidens who wait
F#m F#m 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
G G 
 
A A 
 
for   their lovers there say
D D 
 
That still on the shore
G G 
 
they can hear it so play
A A 
 
His ghost in the wind,
G G 
 
D D 
 
singing soft this free prayer.
A A 
 
D D 
 
I leave you, my I leave you,
Em Em 
 
away forever. I you.
