Whiskey In The Jar


C C Am Am
As I was goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains,
F F C C Am Am
I saw with Captain Farrell and his money he was countin’
C C Am Am
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier,
F F C C Am Am
I said stand and deliver, or the devil he may take ya.

G7 G7
Musha ring dum a do dum a dah
C C C7 C7
Whack for my daddy-o
F F
Whack for my daddy-o
C C G7 G7 C C
There's whiskey in the jar-o

C C Am Am
I took all of his money, and it was a pretty penny,
F F C C Am Am
I took all of his money, and I brought it home to Molly
C C Am Am
She swore that she loved me, never would she leave me
F F C C Am Am
But the devil take the women, for you know she tricked me easy

G7 G7
Musha ring dum a do dum a dah
C C C7 C7
Whack for my daddy-o
F F
Whack for my daddy-o
C C G7 G7 C C
There's whiskey in the jar-o

C C Am Am
Being drunk and weary, I went to Molly’s chamber
F F C C Am Am
Takin’ my money with me, and I never knew the danger
C C Am Am
For about six or maybe seven, in walked Captain Farrell
F F C C Am Am
I jumped up, fired off my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels

G7 G7
Musha ring dum a do dum a dah
C C C7 C7
Whack for my daddy-o
F F
Whack for my daddy-o
C C G7 G7 C C
There's whiskey in the jar-o

C C Am Am
Now some men like the fishin', and some men like the fowlin'
F F C C Am Am
And some men like to hear, a cannon ball a roarin'
C C Am Am
But me I like sleepin', specially in my Molly's chamber
F F C C Am Am
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

G7 G7
Musha ring dum a do dum a dah
C C C7 C7
Whack for my daddy-o
F F
Whack for my daddy-o
C C G7 G7 C C
There's whiskey in the jar-o
