GOODNIGHT IRENE

Goodnight Irene
by Ernest Tubb
 
G          D7
Irene  Goodnight
              G
Irene   goodnight  goodnight Irene 
     C
Good night Irene 
     D7            G
I'll see you in my dreams
 
                          D7
Last Saturday night I got married
                       G
Me and my wife settled down
                        C
Now me and my wife have parted
      D7                       G
Gonna take another stroll down town
 
repeat #1
                        D7
Sometimes I live in the country
                    G
Sometimes I live in town
                        C
Sometimes I take a fool notion
   D7                    G
To jump in the river and drown
 
repeat #1
                    D7
Stop rambling  stop gambling
                         G
Stop staying out late at night
                         C
Go home to your wife and family
    D7                   G
And stay by the fireside bright
 
repeat #1
