[Intro]
Am  Em  F  C  Em  Am
 
[Verse 1]
 Am
Eileen Og an' that the darlin's name is
 G
Through the Barony her features they were famous
 Am
If we loved her then who was there to blame us
     Em                      Am            Em    Am
For wasn't she the Pride of Petravore?
 F            C
But her beauty made us all so shy
 Em             Am
Not a man could look her in the eye
 F            C
Boys, Oh boys, sure that's the reason why
         Em                         Am          Em      Am
We're in mournin' for the Pride of Petravore 
 
[Chorus]
   Am         C
:Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
 F                    Am
Ever since the day you wandered far away
 Am              C
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,
 F                                        Am        Em    Am
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore
 
[Verse 2]
 Am
Friday at the fair of Ballintubber
 G
Eileen met McGrath the cattle jobber
 Am
I'd like to set me mark upon the robber
 Em                             Am          Em     Am
For he stole away the Pride of Petravore
 F            C
He never seemed to see the girl at all
 Em                      Am
Even when she ogled him from underneath her shawl
 F                       C
Lookin' big and masterful when she was lookin' small
 Em                             Am         Em     Am
Most provokin' for the Pride of Petravore 
 
[Verse 3]
 Am
So it went as 'twas in the beginning
 G
Eileen Og was bent upon the winning
 Am
Big McGrath contentedly was grinning
 Em                            Am       Em     Am
Being courted by the Pride of Petravore
 F                                                    C
Sez he: "I know a girl that could knock you into fits"
 Em                   Am
At that Eileen nearly lost her wits
 F                        C
The upshot of the ruction was that now the robber sits
 Em                               Am         Em     Am
With his arm around the Pride of Petravore 
 
[Chorus]
 F          C
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
 Em                 Am
Ever since the day you wandered far away
 F               C
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,
 Em                                        Am       Em    Am
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore
 
[Instrumental]
Am  Em  F  C  Am  Em  Am
 
[Verse 4]
 Am
Boys, Oh boys, with fate 'tis hard to grapple
 G
Of my eyes 'tis Eileen was the apple
 Am
Now to see her walkin' to the chapel
 Em                              Am        Em     Am
With the hardest featured man in Petravore
 F               C
Now, boys, this is all I have to say:
 Em                    Am
When you do your courtin' make no display
 F                           C
If you want them to run after you, just walk the other way
 Em                                  Am        Em     Am
For they're mostly like the Pride of Petravore 
 
[Chorus]
 F           C
Eileen Og me heart is growin' grey,
 Em                 Am
Ever since the day you wandered far away
 F               C
Eileen Og there's good fish in the say,
 Em                                        Am       Em    Am
But there's none of them like the Pride of Petravore
 
[Outro]

Great lyrics, and the chords are mostly correct. I feel like the lines such as 'but her beauty', 'boys oh boys' and 'Eileen og' should start with an F chord rather than an Am

this tab is not accurate in a number of places, mainly in terms of chords, but also a few lyrics
