Come On Eileen (diatonic)

I’m not too happy with this tab. Originally, song’s verses are in C
major, while chorus is in D. This is my attempt to play everything on
a single harmonica.

Violin parts:

Intro
4 6 -6 6 4 6 -6 6 -5 4 -5 6 5 4 3

During song
6 -6 6 6 -6 6 6 -6 6 5 -5 6 6 6 5 -5 6 6 6

4 -4 5 -5 -6 6
Poor old Johnny Ray
7 7 7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6 6
Sounded sad upon the radio
-6 -6 6 6 6 5 -5 6
Moved a million hearts in mono
4 5 4 3
Our mothers cried
7 7 7 -6 7 7 -6
And sang along, who’d blame them

4 6 4 -6 6
You’re grown, so grown
6 -5 5 -4 6 -5 5 -4
Now I must say more than ever
4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -7 7 -6
Go Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 5 -5 6
And we can sing just like our fathers

4 3 -3 4 (4 4)
Come on Eileen (I swear)
-3 3 3 -3
well he means
-3 -3 5 -5
At this moment
3 3 -5 5 -4
You mean everything
4 3 -3 4 (4 4)
With you in that dress (my thoughts)
-3 3 3 -3
I confess
3 4 5 -5
verge on dirty
3 3 -5 5 -4
Ah come on Eileen.

4 -4 5 -5 -6 6
These people round here
7 7 7 -6 -6 7 7 7 -6 -6 6
Wear beaten down eyes sunk in smoke dried faces
6 -6 6 5 -5 6
They’re so resigned to what their fate is
4 4 6 4 -6 6
But not us, not us
6 -5 5 -4 6 -5 5 -4
we are far too young and clever.
4 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -7 7 -6
Toora Loora Toora Loo-Rye-Aye
-6 -6 -6 -6 6 6 5 -5 6
Eileen I’ll hum this tune forever.

Come on Eileen, I swear, well he means
Ah come on let’s take off everything,
That pretty red dress Eileen (Tell him yes)
Ah come on let’s, ah come on Eileen
