This is a fun party song......I know I'm missing some chords especially near the end of the chorus. If anyone figures them out please pass them on to me at [email protected]
It sounds close anyway. Please advise me of any corrections
The Night Pat Murphy Died
A DA Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget A DE Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet A DA As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay A DA O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
Chorus: A DA That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy ADE
That's how they showed their honour and their pride A DA They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another ADE DA And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died
As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold
Chorus
About two o'clock in the morning after empty'ing the jug Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine
Chorus
They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind!
Chorus
Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
