"The Night Pat Murphy Died"
Great Big Sea
Capo 2
[G]Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, [C]is a night I'll never for[G]get
[G]Some of the boys got l[Em]oaded drunk, and t[C]hey ain't got sober y[D]et;
[G]As long as a bottle was passed around[C] every man was feelin' g[G]ay
[G]O'Leary came [Em]with the bagpipes,[C] some music [D]for to pla[G]y
(Chorus:)
[G]That's how they showed their [C]respect for Paddy Mur[G]phy
[G]That's how they[Em] showed their ho[C]nour and their pri[D]de;
[G]They said it was a sin and shame an[C]d they winked at one anot[G]her
[G]And every drink i[Em]n the place was full t[C]he night Pa[D]t Murphy di[G]ed
[G] [Em] [C] [D] [G]
[G]As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner [C]pouring out her gr[G]ief
[G]Kelly and his g[Em]ang came tear[C]ing down the stre[D]et
[G]They went into an empty room and [C]a bottle of whiskey st[G]ole
[G]They put the bottle w[Em]ith the corpse t[C]o keep that w[D]hiskey co[G]ld
(Chorus)
[G]About two o'clock in the morning [C]after empty'ing the j[G]ug
[G]Doyle rolls up [Em]the ice box lid to[C] see poor Paddy's m[D]ug
[G]We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy c[C]ouldn't tell the ti[G]me
[G]And at a quarter [Em]after two [C]we argued it [D]was ni[G]ne
(Chorus)
[G]They stopped the hearse ou[C]tside Sundance Sal[G]oon
[G]They all went in at[Em] half past eight and [C]staggered out at no[D]on
[G]They went up to the graveyard, s[C]o holy and subli[G]me
[G]Found out when they g[Em]ot there, t[C]hey'd left t[D]he corpse beh[G]ind!
(Chorus)
[G]Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, [C]is a night I'll never for[G]get
[G]Some of the boys got [Em]loaded drunk and th[C]ey ain't been sober[D] yet;
[G]As long as a bottle was passed around e[C]very man was feelin' g[G]ay
[G]O'Leary came w[Em]ith the bagpipes, s[C]ome music[D] for to p[G]lay
(Chorus)
