"The Night Pat Murphy Died" Great Big Sea Capo 2 [Verse] G C G Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget G Em C D Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet; G C G As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay G Em C D G O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play [Chorus] G C G That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy G Em C D That's how they showed their honour and their pride; G C G They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another G Em C D G And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died [Instrumental] G Em C D G [Verse] G C G As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief G Em C D Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street G C G They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole G Em C D G They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold [Chorus] G C G That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy G Em C D That's how they showed their honour and their pride; G C G They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another G Em C D G And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died [Verse] G C G About two o'clock in the morning after empty'ing the jug G Em C D Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Paddy's mug G C G We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time G Em C D G And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine [Chorus] G C G That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy G Em C D That's how they showed their honour and their pride; G C G They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another G Em C D G And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died [Verse] G C G They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon G Em C D They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon G C G They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime G Em C D G Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind! [Chorus] G C G That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy G Em C D That's how they showed their honour and their pride; G C G They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another G Em C D G And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died [Verse] G C G Oh the night that Paddy Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget G Em C D Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet; G C G As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay G Em C D G O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play [Chorus] G C G That's how they showed their respect for Paddy Murphy G Em C D That's how they showed their honour and their pride; G C G They said it was a sin and shame and they winked at one another G Em C D G And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died
