Chords for Andy M. Stewart - Patrick Sheehan

[C#] _ _ _ _ _
My name is [D#] Patrick Sheehan, my [C#m] _
years are thirty [B]-four
To Prairie _ is [G#m] my native place, [C#m] not far from _ _ _ Galtimore
I came upon his [A] parents, but [G#m] now they're lying [B] _ low
Though [C#m] many's the pleasant [G#m] day we spend _ [C#m] in the glen [G#m] of _ _ [C#m]
Ahlow
_ _ My father died, I [C#] closed his eyes [C#m] outside our cabin [B] door
For the [G#m]
landlord and the [C#m] sheriff [D#] too were [C#m] there the day [G#m]
before
[C#m] And then my [A] loving mother and [G#m]
sisters three [B] also _ _
[C#m] Were forced to go [G#m] with broken _ _ hearts from [C#m] the glen [G#m] of _
[C#m] Ahlow
_ For three long months [B] in search of work I [C#m] _ wandered [B] far and near
I went into the [G#m] poor house to [C#m] see my mother [G#m] _
dear
The [C#m] news I [E] heard [A] nearly broke my heart, [G#m] but still in all [B] my woe
I [C#m] blessed the friends [G#m] who made their _ graves [C#m] in the glen of _ Ahlow _ _ _
_ Breft of home and [D#] kith and kin, [C#m] with plenty all [B] around
_ I starved within [G#m] my cabin [C#m] and slept upon [G#m] the ground
_ [C#m] But cruel [E] as [A] my lot was, [G#m] I ne'er did [B] hardship know
Till [C#m] I joined the English [G#m] _
army _ far [C#m] away [B] from _ [C#m] Ahlow _
_ _ Rouse up there, cried the [D#] corporal, [C#m] you lazy Irish [B] hound
[G#m] Why don't you hear [C#m] the [B] bugle?
[C#m] It's called to arms [G#m] to sound
[C#m] I found I had been [A] dreaming of [G#m] the days long, long [B] ago
And [C#m] I woke up on [G#m]
Stabat Stapal _ and [C#m]
not in [B] _ [C#m] Ahlow _
I tried to find [D#] my musket, how [C#m] _
dark I thought the [B] night _
Oh, blessed God, it [G#m] was not dark, it [C#m] was the broad [G#m] daylight
_ _ And [C#m] when I [E] found [A] that I was blind, [G#m] my tears began [B] to flow
_ And [C#m] I longed for even a [G#m] pauper's grave in [C#m] the glen [B] of _ _ [C#m] Ahlow _
A _ poor neglected [D#] _
mendicant, I [C#m] _ wandered Dublin [B] Street
_ [G#m] My nine-month's pension [C#m] had [C#] been out, [C#m] I begged from all [G#m] I meet
[C#m] As I joined my [E] [A] country's tyrants, [G#m] my face I can never [B] show _
_ [C#m] Amongst my dear [G#m] old neighbours _ in [C#m] the glen [B] of _ [C#m]
Ahlow
_ _ So _ Irish youths, [B] dear _ countrymen, [C#m] take heed of what I [B] _ say
[G#m] For if you join [C#m] the [C#] English ranks, [C#m] you'll surely rue the [G#m] day
[C#m] And whenever [E] you're [A] attempted a [G#m]
soldier in to [B] go _ _
[C#m] Remember, poor [G#m] blind _ sheehan, _ _ [C#m] of the glen of [B] Ahlow
