[Verse]

 C                  Em 
Poor old Johnny Ray
         F                            C                   G 
Sounded sad upon the radio moved a million hearts in mono

 Our mothers cried
 F             F                   C          G 
Sang along, who'd blame them
 C                                 Em 
You're grown (you're grown up), so grown (so grown up)
 F                               C          G 
Now I must say more than ever            (come on Eileen)
 C             Em              F

 C                    Em 
These people round here

so resigned to what their fate is
     C                      Em 
but not us (no never) no not us (no never)
 F                                  C         G 
we are far too young and clever             remember
 C             Em              F 
Toora-loora-toora-loo-rye-aye
