[E] - [E7] - [A] - [B7]
s2s13209.22711,ss9p

s2s13209.22711,ss9p
[E] I asked your mother for [B7] you
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
She told me that you was too [E] young
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
I wish dear [E7] Lord never have [A] seen your face
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
And I'm [B7] sorry that you ever been [E] born.

I'll [B7] get you in my [E] dreams
s2s13209.22711,ss9p

s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Sometimes I lives in the country
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Sometimes I lives in town
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Sometimes I have a great notion
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
To jump into the river and drown
s2s13209.22711,ss9p

s2s13209.22711,ss9p
I loves Irene, God knows I do
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Loves her till the sea runs dry
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
If Irene turns her back on me
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
I'm gonna take morphine and die
s2s13209.22711,ss9p

s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Stop ramblin' and stop gamblin'
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Quit staying out late at night
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Come home into your wife and your family
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Sit down by the fireside bright
s2s13209.22711,ss9p

s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
I'll get you in my dreams
s2s13209.22711,ss9p
