Whiskey In The Jar
            

   C                    Am                         
As I was goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains,
  F                                C            Am     
I saw with Captain Farrell and his money he was countin’
  C                             Am                     
I first produced my pistol, and then produced my rapier,
       F                         C                 Am     
I said stand and deliver, or the devil he may take ya.
      
      G7               
Musha ring dum a do dum a dah
C            C7      
Whack for my daddy-o
F                    
Whack for my daddy-o
        C       G7     C   
There's whiskey in the jar-o

  C                             Am                   
I took all of his money, and it was a pretty penny,
  F                            C                  Am     
I took all of his money, and I brought it home to Molly
    C                              Am                 
She swore that she loved me, never would she leave me
        F                             C                   Am 
But the devil take the women, for you know she tricked me easy
 
      G7               
Musha ring dum a do dum a dah
C            C7      
Whack for my daddy-o
F                    
Whack for my daddy-o
        C       G7     C   
There's whiskey in the jar-o

      C                  Am                    
Being drunk and weary, I went to Molly’s chamber
       F                       C              Am      
Takin’ my money with me, and I never knew the danger
    C                            Am                      
For about six or maybe seven, in walked Captain Farrell
  F                                      C                  Am         
I jumped up, fired off my pistols, and I shot him with both barrels
       
      G7               
Musha ring dum a do dum a dah
C            C7      
Whack for my daddy-o
F                    
Whack for my daddy-o
        C       G7     C   
There's whiskey in the jar-o

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

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