G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GOh (320003@1)the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) DSome (xx0232@1)of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet;
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GAs (320003@1)long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GO'Leary (320003@1)came with the bagpipes, some music for to play

G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GThat's (320003@1)how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) DThat's (xx0232@1)how they showed their honour and their pride;
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GThey (320003@1)said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GAnd (320003@1)every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died
G Em C D G
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GAs (320003@1)Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) DKelly (xx0232@1)and his gang came tearing down the street
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GThey (320003@1)went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GThey (320003@1)put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold
[Chorus]
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GAbout (320003@1)two o'clock in the morning after empty'ing the jug
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) DDoyle (xx0232@1)rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GWe (320003@1)stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GAnd (320003@1)at a quarter after two we argued it was nine
[Chorus]
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GThey (320003@1)stopped the hearse outside Sundance Saloon
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) DThey (xx0232@1)all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GThey (320003@1)went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) D (xx0232@1) GFound (320003@1)out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind!
[Chorus]
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GOh (320003@1)the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget
G (320003@1) Em (022000@1) C (x32010@1) DSome (xx0232@1)of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet;
G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) GAs (320003@1)long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay
