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
It sounds close anyway. Please advise me of any corrections
The Night Pat Murphy Died
A
D AOh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
A
D ESome of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet
A
D AAs long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
A
D AO'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play
Chorus:
A
D AThat's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy
A D E
That's how they showed their honour and their pride
A
D AThey said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another
A D E
D AAnd 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
G#out 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
Chorus
