Also included is a video showing the tin whistle notes.​The broad majestic Shannon tin whistle sheet music by The Pogues included.

The Broad Majestic Shannon Harmonica Tab Is Here .

[D]The last time I saw you was[G] down at the [D]Greeks 
There was whiskey on Sunday and [G]tears on our[D] cheeks 
You sang me a song as pure as the [G]breeze 
On the [D] road to [G]Glena[A]veigh 
I [D]sat for a while at the [G]cross at [D]Finnoe 
Where young lovers would meet when the [G]flowers were in[D] bloom 
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shin[G]rone 
Their[D] hearts in Tippe[G]rary wher[A]ever they[D] go
 
[D]Take my hand, and dry your [G]tears[A] babe 
Take my [D]hand, forget your [G]fears[A] babe 
There's no [D]pain, there's no more [G]sorr[A]ow 
They're all [D]gone, gone in the [G]years [A]babe
 
I sat for a while by the gap in the wall 
Found a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball 
Heard the cards being dealt, and the rosary called 
And a fiddle playing Sean Dun na nGall 
And the next time I see you we'll be down at the Greeks 
There'll be whiskey on Sunday and tears on our cheeks 
For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl 
About a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball
 
So I walked as day was dawning 
Where small birds sang and leaves were falling 
Where we once watched the row boats landing 
By the broad majestic Shannon
Above are the tin whistle notes, there's a small ''riff'' before the main melody of the song starts.
​Here's the guitar chords for the key of G.
[Pogues version is in D ]

[G]The last time I saw you was[C] down at the [G]Greeks 
There was whiskey on Sunday and [C]tears on our[G] cheeks 
You sang me a song as pure as the [C]breeze 
On the [G] road to [C]Glena[D]veigh 
I [G]sat for a while at the [C]cross at [G]Finnoe 
Where young lovers would meet when the [C]flowers were in[G] bloom 
Heard the men coming home from the fair at Shin[C]rone 
Their[G] hearts in Tippe[C]rary wher[D]ever they[G] go
 
[G]Take my hand, and dry your [C]tears[D] babe 
Take my [G]hand, forget your [C]fears[D] babe 
There's no [G]pain, there's no more [C]sorr[D]ow 
They're all [G]gone, gone in the [C]years [D]babe
