Howdy folks, this is my sense of the Barra Macneils' version of
"Christmas in Killarney" that is in essence, one chorus and one verse
repeated three times.
For the Fiddle Bridges I have found that playing the chorus chords over once
suffices - particularly if you have any talented fiddle-playing friends!
You will see that the intro chords are "D D D D" and this is because of how
the version sounds at the beginning: four excentuated notes followed by
playing them out.
For the intro I would recommend hammering on with
your index finger on the G string and then playing the D chord
somewhat muted to match how the song sounds. Enjoy & all the best!
[Intro]

[Chorus]
D
The holly green, the ivy green
G D
The prettiest picture you've ever seen
G D
Is Christmas in Killarney
A D
With all of the folks at home
D
It's nice, you know, to kiss your beau
G D
While cuddling under the mistletoe
G D
And Santa Claus you know, of course
A D
Is one of the b'ys from home
[Verse 1]

The door is always open
F#m
The neighbors pay a call
A
And Father John before he's gone
E A
Will bless the house and all
D
How grand it feels to click your heels
G D
And join in the fun of the jigs and reels
G D
I'm handing you no blarney
Bm G
The likes you've never known
G D
Is Christmas in Killarney
A D
With all of the folks from home
