Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
The Stone Outside Dan Murphy's Door
G | Am |
There's a sweet garden spot in our | memory |
| D7 | G |
It's the | place we were born in and | reared |
| G | Am |
It's | long years ago since we | left it |
| D7 | G |
But re | turn there we will if we're | spared |
| D | Em |
Our | friends and companions of | childhood |
| A7 | D |
Would as | semble each night near a | score |
| G | C | Am |
Round | Dan Murphy's shop, and how | often we | sat |
| D7 | G |
On the | stone outside Dan Murphy's | door |
Chorus
G | Am |
Those days in our hearts we will | cherish |
| D7 | G |
Con | tented although we were | poor |
And the songs that were sung
| C |
In the | days we were young |
| D7 | G |
On the | stone outside Dan Murphy's | door |
When our day's work was over we'd meet there
In the winter or spring just the same
Then the boys and the girls all together
Would join in some innocent game
Dan Murphy would take down his fiddle
While his daughter looked after the store
The music did ring and sweet songs we would sing
On the stone outside Dan Murphy's door
Back again will our thoughts often wander
To the scenes of our childhood's home
The friends and companions we left there
It was poverty caused us to roam
Since then in this life we have prospered
But still in our hearts we feel sore
For memory will fly to those days long gone by
And the stone outside Dan Murphy's door
