The Butcher Boy Harmonica Tab

4/4 time – slow.

This is the sad Irish folk song
sung by Emily in “I Dies from Love.”
Parts of the song were spread through-
out the episode, all sung solo by actress
Evin Crowley herself.

6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
In More Street where I did dwell

5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
A butcher boy I loved too well.

6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 -6 -4 5
He courted me, my life away,

-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
And now with me he will not stay.

6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
I wish I was a maid again!

6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 ‘6 -4 5
But a maid again I’ll never be.

-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
Till cherries grow on an apple tree.

6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
I wish my baby it was born

5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
And smiling on its daddy’s knee

6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 -6 -4 5
And me, poor girl, to be dead and gone

-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
With the long green grass growin’ over me.

6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
He went upstairs and the door he broke.

5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
He found her hanging from a rope.

6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 -6 -4 5
He took his knife and he cut her down,

-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
And in her pocket, these words he found:

6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
“Oh make my grave large, wide and deep,

5 5 5 -5 -4 5 -5 6
Put a marble stone at my head and feet.

6 -6 -7 7 6 -7 -6 -4 5
And in the middle a turtle dove

-5 -6 6 -4 5 -5 5 4
So the world may know I died for love.”

End with this line: 6 6 -6 6 -5 5 -4 4
