Verse 1
G
Ben oh, the moonlight,
D
shine is beginning
Close by the window,
C
G
young Eileen is spinning
Bent over the fire,
C
G
her blind grandmother sitting
Dsus4
Is crooning and moaning,
D
G
And drowsily knitting.
Eileen, the carrer,
D
I hear someone tapping,
Tis the ivy, mother,
G
Against the glass flapping.
C
G
Eileen, I surely hear somebody sighing,
Dsus4
D
Tis the sound, mother dear,
G
of the autumn winds dying
D
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly whirring
Dsus4
D
Swings the wheel, spins the reel,
G
while the foot's stirring
C
G
Sprightly and lightly and airily ringing
D
Dsus4
Thrills the sweet voice
D
G
of the young maiden singing
There's a form at the casement,
D
the form of her true love
And he whispers with face bent,
G
I'm waiting for you love
Get up on the stool, through the lattice,
C
G
step lightly
Dsus4
D
We'll rove in the grove
G
while the moon's shining brightly
The maid shakes her head,
D
on her lips lays her fingers
Steals up from her seat,
Dsus4
D
G
longs to go and yet lingers
A frightened Lance turns on her
C
G
drowsy grandmother
D
Puts one foot on the stool,
G
spins the wheel with the other
Lazily, easily swings now
D
the wheel round
Slowly and lowly is heard now
G
the real sound
C
G
Noiseless and light to the lattice above her
D
The mate creeps then leaps to
G
the arms of her lover
Slower and slower and slower the
D
Dsus4
wheel swings
D
Lower and lower and
G
lower the reel rings
Hear the reel and the wheel,
C
G
stop their ringing and moving
D
Through the grove the young lovers
G
G
G
by moonlight are roving
you
