4/4 time “ Irish Air
The harp that once thro' Tara's halls.
4 6 -6 6 5 -6 -7 7
The soul of music shed;
-6 6 5 -4 5 4
Now hangs as mute on Tara's walls.
6 7 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6
As tho' that soul were fled.
6 -6 6 7 5 6
So sleeps the pride of formers days.
6 7 -7 7 -8 7 -7 -6
So glory's thrill is o'ver,
6 -6 6 -5 5 -6
And hearts that once beat high for praise,
-7 7 -7 -6 6 -6 -7 7
Now feel that pulse no more.
-6 6 5 -4 5 4
