Verse 1:
       Am                                      Em
Twas a cold winter's night and the tempest was stormy
    C           Am            D         G
The snow like a sheet covered cabin and side
     Am                                Em
When Barney flew over the hills to his darling
   C             Am            D         G
He tapped at her window, where Katie did lie

Verse 2:
  Am                                   Em
"Adieu," said he, "Are you sleeping or waking?
    C              Am          D           G
The night's bitter cold and my coat, it is thin
        Am                                       Em
For the storm, it is brewing, and the frost is a-waiting
   C        Am          D           G
Oh Katie Mulrooney, you must let me in"

Instrumental:

Verse 3:
 C              Am       Dm7               Em
"Barney," cried she, she spoke through the window
     C            Am        D         G
"How could you be taking me out of my bed?
   C            Am        Dm7       Em
To come at this time is a sin and a shame, sir
     C           Am               D         G
It's whisky, not love, that's got into your head"

Instrumental:

C  Am  Dm7  Em  C  Am  D  G
C  Am  Dm7  Em  C  Am  D  G

Verse 4:
   C               Am           Dm7        Em
"A chuisle," cried he, "It's my heart as a fountain
     C             Am              D           G
That weeps for the love that might lay at your door
     Am                                      Em
Your name is more white than the snow on the mountain
C           Am        D           G
Barney will die to preserve it as pure"

Instrumental:
C  Dm7  Em  G

Verse 5:
      C        Am              Dm7          Em
"I'll go to my home though the winter winds face me
    C           Am             D        G
And whistle the notes for 'I'm Paddy In Green'
        Am                                 Em
And the words of my Kathy will comfort and brace me
    C         Am          D             G
'Oh Barney, a mhuirnín, I won't let you in'"
