Verse 1
C
Mellow the moonlight,
the shine is beginning
G
Close by the window,
C
young Eileen is spinning
Then tore the fire,
F
C
her blind grandmother sitting
G
Cooling and moaning,
C
and drowsily knitting
Eileen, my child,
G
I can hear someone tapping
Tis the ivy, mother,
C
against the glass flapping
F
C
Ivy, I surely hear somebody sighing
G
Tis the sound, mother dear,
C
of the autumn winds dying
G
Merrily, cheerily, noiselessly whirring
Spins the wheel, rings the wheel,
C
while the foot's stirring
It's brightly and lightly
F
C
and merrily ringing
Dm
G
C
Drills the sweet voice
G
of the young maiden singing
C

Dm
C
G
C
There's a form at the basement
G
The form of her true love
And he whispers with face bent
C
I'm waiting for you love
Get up from the stool
F
C
Through the lattice step lightly
G
We'll row in the grove
C
While the moon's shining brightly
The maid shakes her head
G
On her lips lays her fingers
Steals out from the stool
C
Longs to go and yet lingers
Afright and glance turns
F
C
To her drowsy grandmother
G
Puts one foot on the stool
C
Spins the wheel with the other
Lazily, easily
G
Swings now the wheel round
Slowly and lowly
C
Is heard now the wheel sound
Noiseless and light,
F
C
from the lattice above her
Dm
G
C
The young maiden leaps to
G
C
the arms of her lover
Slower and slower and slower
G
the wheel swings
C
Lower and lower and lower the reel rings
Add a reel, and the wheels
F
C
start their ringing and moving
Dm
C
G
See the young lovers by moonlight
C
G
are rolling
C
