FATHER MURPHY chrom
Irish folk song
Key: D
Time: 3/4

-5  -5 -3  -5  -6* -7  -9   8* -8   -9
At Boul-a-vogue as the sun was set-ting
 -8    -7   -6*  -5   6 -6*  6   -5  -4
O’er bright May mead-ows of Shel-ma-lier
-44*-5-3  -5  -6* -7   -9   8*  -8  -9
A reb-el hand set the heath-er blaz-ing
-8    -7    -6* -6* 6  -5
And brought the neigh-bors 
 6   -5  -5   -5
From far and near
 -7  -7  -6* -7  -8   8*  -9   8* -8   -9
Then Fa-ther Mur-phy from old Kil—cor-mack
  -8    -7 -6*  -5    6  -6* 6   -5  -4
Spurred up the rocks with a warn-ing cry
 4* -5  -3  -5   -6*  -7   -9  8*  -8  -9
Arm arm he cried for I’ve come to lead you
-8  -7   -6*   -6* 6 -5 6   -5   -5 -5
For Ire-land’s free-dom we fight or die
