Eileen Guitar Tablature
"EILEEN" - SKID ROW

(FROM THE ALBUM: "SUBHUMAN RACE")
(Affuso, Bach, Bolan, Snake)

NOTE: 	I'm a rhythm player so this is basically just the rhythm parts of 
	the song. It's not 100% correct, but the basics are here - so just
	listen to the song for the correct strumming and rhythm.
	Enjoy!

LYRICS:

V1:
There are things we cannot see
That hang within her sight
There are people we won't remember
That dance with her at night

CHORUS:
Eileen's calling me
To sit awhile and talk to trees
Eileen can't you see
The songs you sing are scaring me

Eileen, Eileen

V2:
She romances with the moon
Full and alone
It's really a street light
It's something we all know

V3:
There are things we cannot see
That hang within her sight
It's really a street light
It's something we all know
