The Rocky Road To Dublin sheet music and tin whistle notes

A traditional Folk song/tune made famous by The Dubliners with Luke Kelly singing. Including are the easy to follow piano / melodica letter notes. The time signature is 9/8. The ukulele tab in low G tuning included.

The full sheet music score is included in G Major. Below are the letter notes. In this version I have taken out all the ornamentation [ extra notes ] and made it as simple as possible to play. The F is a sharp and the c is natural. The higher notes past B are the lower case letters. The sheet music is slightly different than the letter notes.
This old tune is also in my tin whistle book here on the site. The rocky road to Dublin easy beginner piano notes now added plus the fiddle tab for beginners showing where to place your fingers on each string.

In the merry month of June from me home I started,

Left the girls of Tuam nearly broken hearted,

Saluted father dear, kissed me darling mother,

Drank a pint of beer, me grief and tears to smother,

Then off to reap the corn, leave where I was born,
e a a f g e d B G A B c
Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins;
e a a f g e a a f g
Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs
e e a a f g e e d B G A B c
And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin.

One, two, three four, five, Hunt the Hare and turn her down the rocky

road and all the way to Dublin, Whack fol-lol de rah !

Does this song sound too high for your whistle ? Then you might try using some ''Blu Tack'' to half block the Fipple. More info here How To Make Your Tin Whistle Sound Quiter
