[Verse 1]
        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        N.C.
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     G5/F#        Em        D        C         D      G
And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

[Verse 2]
   G                             C               G
As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pourin' out her grief
G              Em       C                D
Kelly and his gang came tearin' down the street
     G                             C                 G
They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole
     G       G5/F#  Em       D         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     G5/F#        Em        D        C         D      G
And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

[Verse 3]
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    G5/F#   Em    D      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     G5/F#        Em        D        C         D      G
And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

[Verse 4]
    G                                          C                G
Oh, 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                                     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     G5/F#        Em        D        C         D      G
And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died

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

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