"The Night Pat Murphy Died"
Great Big Sea
Capo 2
GOh the night that Paddy Murphy died, Cis a night I'll never forGget
GSome of the boys got lEmoaded drunk, and tChey ain't got sober yDet;
GAs long as a bottle was passed aroundC every man was feelin' gGay
GO'Leary came Emwith the bagpipes,C some music Dfor to plaGy
[Chorus:]
GThat's how they showed their Crespect for Paddy MurGphy
GThat's how theyEm showed their hoCnour and their priDde;
GThey said it was a sin and shame anCd they winked at one anotGher
GAnd every drink iEmn the place was full tChe night PaDt Murphy diGed
G Em C D G
GAs Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner Cpouring out her grGief
GKelly and his gEmang came tearCing down the streDet
GThey went into an empty room and Ca bottle of whiskey stGole
GThey put the bottle wEmith the corpse tCo keep that wDhiskey coGld
[Chorus]
GAbout two o'clock in the morning Cafter empty'ing the jGug
GDoyle rolls up Emthe ice box lid toC see poor Paddy's mDug
GWe stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy cCouldn't tell the tiGme
GAnd at a quarter Emafter two Cwe argued it Dwas niGne
[Chorus]
GThey stopped the hearse ouCtside Sundance SalGoon
GThey all went in atEm half past eight and Cstaggered out at noDon
GThey went up to the graveyard, sCo holy and subliGme
GFound out when they gEmot there, tChey'd left tDhe corpse behGind!
[Chorus]
GOh the night that Paddy Murphy died, Cis a night I'll never forGget
GSome of the boys got Emloaded drunk and thCey ain't been soberD yet;
GAs long as a bottle was passed around eCvery man was feelin' gGay
GO'Leary came wEmith the bagpipes, sCome musicD for to pGlay
[Chorus]
