Oh the [G]* night that Paddy Murphy died, is a [C]* night that I’ll never for-[G]* get
[G]* Some of the boys got [Em]* Loaded drunk, and they [C]* ain’t got sober [D]* yet.
As [G]* long as a bottle was passed around, every [C]* man was feelin' [G]* gay
O'[G]* Leary came with the [Em]* bagpipes, some music for to [G] play
{soc}
[G] That's how they showed their re-[C]spect for Paddy [G] Murphy
[G] ...That's how they [Em] showed their [C] honour and their [D] pride.
They [G] said it was a sin and a shame and [C] they winked at one a-[G]nother
And [G] every drink in the [Em] place was full the [C] night Pat [D] Murphy [G] died
[G] [Em] [C]* [C]* [D]* [D]* [G] [G] [Em] [C]* [C]* [D]* [D]*
{eoc}
[G] As 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 [C] a bottle of whiskey [G] stole
They [G] put the bottle [Em] with the [D] corpse to [C] keep that [D] whiskey [G] cold
{soc}
[G] That's how they showed their re-[C]spect for Paddy [G] Murphy
[G] ...That's how they [Em] showed their [C] honour and their [D] pride.
They [G] said it was a sin and a shame and [C] they winked at one a-[G]nother
And [G] every drink in the [Em] place was full the [C] night Pat [D] Murphy [G] died

{eoc}
[G] About 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
[G] We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy [C] couldn't tell the [G] time
And [G] at a quarter [Em] after two [C] we argued [D] it was [G] nine
{soc}
[G] That's how they showed their re-[C]spect for Paddy [G] Murphy
[G] ...That's how they [Em] showed their [C] honour and their [D] pride.
They [G] said it was a sin and a shame and [C] they winked at one a-[G]nother

{eoc}
Oh they [G] stopped the hearse on George Street, out-[C]side Sundance Sa-[G]loon
[G] They all went in at [Em] half past eight and [C] staggered out at [D] noon
They [G] went up to the graveyard, so [C] holy and sub-[G]lime
[G] Found out when they got there, they'd [C] left the [D] corpse be-[G]hind!
