Harmonica Tab For The Rocky Road To Dublin

The Bouzouki Tab Is Here

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.

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,

Cut a stout black thorn to banish ghosts and goblins;

Bought a pair of brogues rattling o'er the bogs

And fright'ning all the dogs on the rocky road to Dublin.
