Má chaill mé mo stór ní do gur chaill mé mo chiall
A's ni mó liom do phóg ná'n bhróg atá'r caitheamh le bliain

Ach pos a' fear og mo leo mur' maire sé ach bliain
Nó beidh tú go fóill gan ó nó mac ós do chionn
A shileadh na ndeor trathnóna nó'r maidin go trom.

Here's the Coors version of the chords. The Coors play the song in C #, so to play along with them put a capo on the first fret and play these chords.

​Buachaill On Eirne Sheet Music Notes

There a very slight difference to the notes I'm playing on the whistle compared to the way the sheet music is written. If we all played a tune the same way life would be pretty boring. Make the song your own, play around with it and do it your way, but always remember to keep the main melody intact.
The following notes are what I'm playing, the bold one's are the high D's and E's.
