F Gm
1. There's a sweet gar-den spot in our mem-‘ry
C7 F
It's the place we were born in and reared
F Gm
‘Tis long years a-go since we left it
C7 F
But re-turn there we will if we're spared
C Dm
Our friends and com-pan-ions of child-hood
G7 C C7
Would as-sem-ble each night near the store
F Bb Gm
Round Dan Murphy's shop oh how oft-en we’ve sat
C7 F
On the stone that stood out-side his door
F Gm
Chorus: Those days in our hearts we will cher-ish
C7 F
Con-ten-ted al-though we were poor
F Bb Gm
And the songs that were sung in the days we were young
C7 F
On the stone out-side Dan Mur-phy's door
F Gm
2. When our day's work was o-ver we'd meet there
C7 F
In the win-ter or spring the same
F Gm
The boys and the girls all to-geth-er
C7 F
Would join in some in-no-cent game
C Dm
Dan Mur-phy would bring down his fid-dle
G7 C C7
While his daugh-ters looked af-ter the store
F Bb Gm
The mu-sic would ring and sweet songs we would sing
C7 F
On the stone out-side Dan Mur-phy's door
F Gm
Chorus: Those days in our hearts we will cher-ish
C7 F
Con-ten-ted al-though we were poor
F Bb Gm
And the songs that were sung in the days we were young
C7 F
On the stone out-side Dan Mur-phy's door
F Bb Gm C7 F D7

G Am
3. Back a-gain will our thoughts oft-en wan-der
D7 G
To the scenes of our child-hood's home
G Am
The friends and com-pan-ions we left there
D7 G
It was pov-er-ty caused us to roam
D Em
Since then in this life we have pros-pered
A7 D D7
But now still in our hearts we feel sure
G C Am
For mem-‘ries will fly to the days gone by
D7 G
And the stone out-side Dan Murphy's door
G Am
Chorus: Those days in our hearts we will cher-ish
D7 G
Con-ten-ted al-though we were poor
G C Am
And the songs that were sung in the days we were young
D7 G
On the stone out-side Dan Mur-phy's door...
