Goodnight, Irene,
  E       E7     A
I get you in my dreams

  A                     E  E7
I asked your mother for you
    E                E7      A
She told me that you was too young
                                D
I wish dear Lord that I'd never seen your face
    E          E7           A
I'm sorry that you ere were born

A          E    E7
Irene, goodnight
E          A
Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene
    D
Goodnight, Irene,
  E       E7     A
I get you in my dreams

    A                   E       E7
Sometimes I live in the country,
E           E7      A
sometimes I live in town
                         D
Sometimes I take a great notion,
   E             E7        A
to jump into the river and drown

A          E    E7
Irene, goodnight
E          A
Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene
    D
Goodnight, Irene,
  E       E7     A
I get you in my dreams

A                        E       E7
Stop rambling, stop your gambling,
E            E7          A
stop staying out late at night
                              D
Go home to your wife and your family,
E               E7       A
sit down by the fireside bright

A          E    E7
Irene, goodnight
E          A
Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene
    D
Goodnight, Irene,
  E       E7     A
I get you in my dreams

A                          E       E7
Last Saturday night, I got married,
E         E7           A
me and my wife settled down
                       D
Now me and my wife are parted,
          E            E7         A
I`m gonna take another stroll downtown

A          E    E7
Irene, goodnight
E          A
Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene
    D
Goodnight, Irene,
  E       E7     A
I get you in my dreams

  A                       E  E7
I love Irene, God knows I do,
E                      E7       A
I`ll love her till the seas run dry
                            D
But if Irene should turn me down,
    E        E7           A
I`d take the morphine and die

A          E    E7
Irene, goodnight
E          A
Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene
    D
Goodnight, Irene,
  E       E7     A
I get you in my dreams

A          E    E7
Irene, goodnight
E          A
Irene, goodnight

Goodnight, Irene
    D
Goodnight, Irene,
  E       E7     A
I get you in my dreams
