Intro         
     D                    A         
Last Saturday night I got married,  
                       D      
Me and my wife settled down.  
              D7       G        
Now me and my wife are parted;  
      A                        D      
Gonna take another stroll down town.  
   
D           A                        D       
Irene, good night, Irene, Irene good night.  
             D7         G              
Goodnight. I-rene. Good night, Irene.

I'll see you in my dreams.

Interlude         
   
     D                   A         
Some times I live in the country.  
                    D      
Sometimes I live in town.  
            D7          G       
Sometimes I take a fool notion  
   A                     D       
To jump in the river and drown.  
   
D           A                        D       
Irene, good night, Irene, Irene good night.

Goodnight. I-rene. Good night, Irene.

I'll see you in my dreams.

Interlude         
   
          D                   A          
Stop your ramblin', stop your gamblin'.  
                         D       
Stop staying out late at night.  
                D7       G        
Go home to your wife and family.  
     A                     D        
Stay there by the fireside bright.  
   
D            A                        D       
 Irene, good night, Irene, Irene good night.  
             D7         G              
Goodnight. I-rene. Good night, Irene.  
     A             D        
I'll see you in my dreams.
