The Night Pat Murphy Died Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
On the [G]night that Paddy Murphy died,
is a [C]night I'll never for[G]get
[G]Some of the boys got [Em]loaded drunk
and they [C]ain't been sober [D]yet
As [G]long as a bottle was passed around
every [C]man was feelin' [G]gay
[G]O'Leary came with the bagpipes,

[Chorus 1]
some music for to play
[G]That's how they showed
their res[C]pect for Paddy [G]Murphy
[G]That's how they sho[Em]wed
their [C]honour and their [D]pride
They [G]said it was a sin and shame
and they [C]winked at one an[G]other
And [G]every [D]drink in the [Em]place was [D]full
the [C]night Pat [D]Murphy [G]died

[Verse 2]
As [G]Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner
[C]pouring out her [G]grief
[G]Kelly and his [Em]gang came
[C]tearing down the [D]street
They [G]went into an empty room
and a [C]bottle of whiskey [G]stole
They [G]put the [D]bottle [Em]with the [D]corpse
to [C]keep that [D]whiskey [G]cold

[Chorus 2]
[G]That's how they showed
their res[C]pect for Paddy [G]Murphy
[G]That's how they sho[Em]wed
their [C]honour and their [D]pride
They [G]said it was a sin and shame
and they [C]winked at one an[G]other
And [G]every [D]drink in the [Em]place was [D]full
the [C]night Pat [D]Murphy [G]died

[Verse 3]
About [G]two o'clock in the morning
after [C]empty'ing the [G]jug
[G]Doyle rolls up the [Em]ice box lid
to [C]see poor Paddy's [D]mug
We [G]stopped the clock
so Mrs. Murphy [C]couldn't tell the [G]time
And [G]at a [D]quarter [Em]after [D]two
we [C]argued [D]it was [G]nine

[Chorus 3]
[G]That's how they showed
their res[C]pect for Paddy [G]Murphy
[G]That's how they sho[Em]wed
their [C]honour and their [D]pride
They [G]said it was a sin and shame
and they [C]winked at one an[G]other
And [G]every [D]drink in the [Em]place was [D]full

They [G]all went in at [Em]half past eight

They [G]went up to the graveyard,

[G]Found out [D]when they [Em]got there,
