Guitar Chords-The Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls

Written by Thomas Moore and recorded by The Irish Tenors. Chords in key of C major. Recorded by Irish tenor singer John McCormack.

[C]The harp that once through[F] Tara's halls
The[C] soul of [G]music[C] shed,
Now[Am] hangs as mute on[F] Tara's walls,
As if that soul were[G] fled 
So[C] sleeps the pride of[F] former days,
So glory's thrill is o'er;
[G7]And[C] hearts that once beat[F] high for praise,
Now[C] feel that[G] pulse no[C] more.
 
 
No more to chiefs and ladies bright,
The harp of Tara swells
The chord, alone, that breaks at night,
Its tale of ruin tells.
Thus Freedom now so seldom wakes,
The only throb she gives
Is when some heart indignant breaks,
To show that still she lives.

Chords in the key of G Major
[G]The harp that once through[C] Tara's halls
The[G] soul of [D]music[G] shed,
Now[Em] hangs as mute on[C] Tara's walls,
As if that soul were[D] fled 
So[G] sleeps the pride of[C] former days,
So glory's thrill is o'er;
[D7]And[G] hearts that once beat[C] high for praise,
Now[G] feel that[D] pulse no[G] more.
