Goodnight Irene(Chords)

	        CHORUS 
(D) Irene, Good-(A) night 
Irene,  Good-(D) night 
Goodnight Irene,  
Good-(G) night Irene,  
I'll (A) see you in my (D) dreams. 
 
(D) Last Saturday night I got (A) married 
Me and my wife settled (D) down 
Me and my wife have (G) parted 
Gonna (A) take another stroll down (D) town. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
Sometimes I live in the country 
Sometimes I live in town 
Sometimes I take a fool notion 
To jump in the river and drown. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
Stop ramblin', stop (A) gamblin' 
Stop stayin' out (A7) late at (D) night 
Go home to your wife and (G) family 
And (A) stay by the fireside (D) bright. 
 
REPEAT CHORUS
