Am E Am
Eileen Óg an’ that the darlin’s name is
G D7 G
Through the Barony her features they were famous
G E Am
If we loved her then who was there to blame us
E Am E Am
For wasn’t she the Pride of Petravore?
F
But her beauty made us all so shy
E Am
Not a man could look her in the eye
F C E
Boys, oh boys, sure that’s the reason why
Am E Am E Am
We’re in mournin’ for the Pride of Petravore
F C
Eileen Óg me heart is growin’ grey
E Am
Ever since the day you wandered far away
F C E
Eileen Óg there’s good fish in the say
Am E Am E Am
But there’s none of them like the Pride of Petravore
Am E Am
Friday at the fair of Ballintubber
G D7 G
Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber
Am E Am
I’d like to set me mark upon the robber
Am E Am E Am
For he stole away the Pride of Petravore
F C
He never seemed to see the girl at all
E Am
Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl
F C E
Lookin’ big and masterful when she was lookin’ small
Am E Am E Am
Most provokin’ for the Pride of Petravore
[Refrão]
Am E Am
So it went as ’twas in the beginning
G D7 G
Eileen Óg was bent upon the winning
Am E Am
Big McGrath contentedly was grinning
Am E Am E Am
Being courted by the Pride of Petravore
F C
Sez he: “I know a girl that could knock you into fits”
E Am
At that Eileen nearly lost her wits
F C E
The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits
Am E Am E Am
With his arm around the Pride of Petravore
Am E Am
Boys, Oh boys, with fate ’tis hard to grapple
G D7 G
Of my eyes ’tis Eileen was the apple
Am E Am
Now to see her walkin’ to the chapel
Am E Am E Am
With the hardest featured man in Petravore
F C
Now, boys, this is all I have to say
E Am
When you do your courtin’ make no display
F C E
If you want them to run after you, just walk the other way
Am E Am E Am
For they’re mostly like the Pride of Petravore
