  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

  on to me at twartman@pei.sympatico.ca

  

   It sounds close anyway.   Please advise me of any corrections

  

  The Night Pat Murphy Died

  

               A

  D                    A

  Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget

     A

  D                    E

  Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet

        A

  D                      A

  As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay

     A

  D                   A

  O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play

  

  Chorus:

      A

  D                        A

  That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy

      A                                           D                      E

  

  That's how they showed their honour and their pride

             A

  D                       A

  They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another

           A                        D                    E

  D                A

  And 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

  

  About 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
