No more to chiefs and ladies bright the harp of Tara swells
The chord alone that breaks at night its tale of ruin tells
The Freedom now so seldom wakes the only throb she gives
Is when some heart in sorrow breaks to show that still she lives

The Harp That Once Through Tara’s Halls lyrics and chords print version

The [A]harp that once through [D]Tara’s halls the [A]soul of [E]music [A]shed
Now [F#m]hangs as mute on [D]Tara’s walls as [Bm]if that soul were [E]fled
So [A]sleeps the pride of [D]former days so [Bm]glory’s thrill is o’er
And [A]hearts that once beat [D]high for praise now [A]feel that [E]pulse no [A]more

No more to chiefs and ladies bright the harp of Tara swells
The chord alone that breaks at night its tale of ruin tells
The Freedom now so seldom wakes the only throb she gives
Is when some heart in sorrow breaks to show that still she lives
