BOSTON BURGLER

Irish-American folk song

Key: D

 

-1-3 -3   -3 -2*  2  -1

Oh I was born in Bos-ton

-1 -3  -3 -4-3  3    -3

A town you all know well

  -1    -3 -3 -3  -2*  2   -1

Brought up by hon-est par-ents

-1   -3  -2* -1   -1   2

The truth to you I’ll tell

  -1    -3 -3 -3  -2*  2   -1

Brought up by hon-est par-ents

-1    -3    -3 -4-3  3  -3

And raised most ten-der-ly

 -1 -3 -3  -1 -1   3   3    3

‘Til I be-came a sport-in’ man

-2* 3  -3  -3  -2  2   -1

At the age of twen-ty three

 

 

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
