[D] [A]
[E] [A]
Oh, my hero lies in [D] Coatstown, in the churchyard on the hill,
[E] Those guitar-picking [D] fingers, forever [A] now are still.
With that lilting voice he sang [D] songs that we all did enjoy,
[E] Like walking peace of heaven, and Kitty [A] from Pomeroy.
Beneath the Kelki mountains, [D] where the Shannon starts to flow,
[E] That's where young Dan was born and raised, where the Brefney [A] heather grows.
In a house once filled with music, [D] that would make the rafters ring,
[E] Where the Shanachie told stories, and everyone [A] would sing.
[D] Oh, we miss you Dan O'Hara, [A] in Cabin and Tyrone,
[B] In Nellie's down in Fordham [E] Road, it was your second home.
[A] Hey, we miss you in Chicago, [D] Mondor and Montreal,
[E] But it's Mary and your family, that miss you [A] most of all.
Each evening when you came from school [D] to McGovern's you would go,
[E] To hear Hank Williams' records, [D] Slim Whitman and [A] Ice Snow.
Then one night you saw your idol, [D] in the Rainbow Inland Farm,
[E] You got to meet and talk guitars [D] with Seamus [A] MacMahon.
[F] [Bb] From then on you decided, [Eb] what you were going to do,
[F] You farmed the overlanders, with some friends and [Bb] sisters too.
You played throughout the county, [Eb] in venues big and small,
[F] Then you became a ramblin' man, [Eb] Philomena [Bb] made the call,
They say that everybody [Eb] has a hero of their own,
[F] It may be a famous sports star, or a legend like [Bb] Buck Holmes.
But Dan, you were my hero, [Eb] you are and always will,
But [F] my hero lies in Cougsdown, in the churchyard on [Bb] the hill.
Ah, [Eb] we miss you Dan O'Hara, in Cabin and Tyrone,
[C] In Nellies, down in Fordham Road, [F] it was your second home.
Ah, [Bb] we miss you in Chicago, [Eb] Long Don, and Montreal,
[F] But it's Mary and your family, that miss you most [Bb] of all.
