Wikipedia cites: Macushla is an Irish song copyrighted circa 1910 with music by Dermot MacMurrough and lyrics by Josephine V. Rowe. The title is a transliteration of the Irish mo chuisle meaning "my pulse" as used in the phrase a chuisle mo chroí (pulse of my heart) meaning "darling" or "sweetheart".
There are a lot of chords involved in this song which I am not able to play on the guitar, so I am attempting to accompany it on the autoharp. Even so there are chords for which I do not have chord bars on my harp. It is as a friend of mine from our Tuesday night sessions would say "A work in progress".
I have placed my camera in such a way as to show the chord bars more clearly should anyone like to try to follow this on their own instrument.
The song was requested by DavidGold87.

I have just produced a book of songs under the title "50 Songs from the 'threelegsoman' collection". It is available as a printed book or as an eBook and can be found at:
