Chords for The Wake of Paddy Murphy - Irish Drinking Song

[Ab] Oh, the night that Patty Murphy died
Is a night I'll never forget
Oh, the lads got a-roarin' drunk
And [Eb] some ain't sober yet
[Ab] As long as the bottle was passed around
The lads were feelin' gay
Till a leery came with a [Ebm] bagpipe
For the music for [Ab] to play
[Fm] Mrs.
Murphy in the corner
Was pourin' out her grief
[F] Till Kelly and the lads
The dirty [Eb] robbin' [Ab] thieves
They crept into the ante [Dbm] room
And a bottle of whiskey [Ab] stole
_ And they placed the bottle on the corpse
To keep the liquor _ [Eb] cold
And [Ab] that's how they paid [Db] their respects
To [Ab] Patty Murphy
That's how they showed their honor [Eb] and their pride
[Ab] They said it was a sin and a shame
[Db] And they winged them [Ab] on another
And everything in the wake house
[Db] When the [Eb] night that [Ab] Murphy died
At [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _
three o'clock in the morning
Some [Db] dirty [Ab] blue-eyed scamp
Wrote upon the coffin lid
Herein lies a tramp _
They stopped the clock
So Mrs.
[G] Murphy couldn't [Ab] tell the time
And at a quarter after three
They told her it was nine
And the whole damn gang got married
And they didn't care a thread
Mrs.
Murphy said she'd wish
That all the [Eb] gang was dead
[Abm]
Of all the sights I [Bb] ever saw
That filled my heart with [Ab] fear
They took the ice right from the corpse
And they put it in their beer
_ And that's how they paid [Db] their respects
To [Ab] Patty Murphy
_ That's how they showed their honor and [Eb] their [Ab] pride
They said it was a sin and a shame
[Db] And they winged them [Ab] on another
And everything in the wake house
When [Db] the night [Eb] that [Ab] Murphy died _
[Db] It _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ was early in the [Db] morning
When the funeral [Ab] left the house
Everyone but poor old Mrs.
Murphy
Was half [Eb]-soused
[Ab] We made a stop along the way
At the Blarney Stone Saloon
We went in there at nine o'clock
And we didn't leave till noon
[G] And someone asked old Mulligan
If anyone had died
Who else is he I'm not quite sure
I just came for the ride
We started for the graveyard
And all walking in the line
But when we reached the grave we found
[Ab] We'd left that corpse _ [Eb] behind
[Ab] And that's how they paid [Db] their respects
To [Ab] Patty Murphy
_ That's how they showed their honor and [Eb] their pride
[Ab] They said it was a sin and a [Db] shame
And they winged them [Ab] on another
And everything in the wake house
[Db] When the [Eb] night that [Ab] Murphy died
That's how they paid [Db] their respects
To [Ab] Patty Murphy _
That's how they showed their honor [Eb] and their [Ab] pride
They said it was a sin and a shame
[Db] And they winged [Ab] them on another
And everything in the wake house
When [Db] the [Eb] night that [Ab] Murphy [Db] died
[Ab] _ [Db] _ [Ab] _ [Eb] _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
