Last Saturday night I got married  Me and my wife settled down  
                         C                 D                     G 
But me and my wife have parted  I'm gonna take another stroll downtown 

          D 
Irene goodnight (Irene) 
          G 
Irene goodnight 
                      C 
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene 
  D                  G 
I'll get you in my dream  

   G                           D        
Stop your ramblin Stop your gambling  
                                G 
Stop stayin out late, late at night 
                                C     
Go home to your wife and your family   
      D                         G 
Sit down by your fireside so bright 

          D 
Irene goodnight (Irene) 
          G 
Irene goodnight 
                      C 
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene 
  D                  G 
I'll get you in my dream 

   G                       D 
I love Irene and I swear I do  

Love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er Love 'er, love 'er, love 'er, love 'er 
                    G 
Still the sea runs dry                       
                             C                 
And if Irene ever turns her back on me   
            D                G 
I'm gonna take morphine and die 

              D 
Irene goodnight 

Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight 
             G 
Irene goodnight 
                    C 
Goodnight Irene, goodnight Irene 
      D               G 
I'll get you in my dream
