            Whiskey In The Jar

[Verse]
   C                    Am
As I was going over the far-famed Kerry mountains,
  F                                C
I met with Captain Farrel, and his money he was counting.
                                 Am
I first produced me pistol and I then produced me rapier,
        F                         C
Saying 'Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver'.

[Chorus]
      G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack fol the daddy o,
F
Whack fol the daddy o,
        C       G      C
There's whiskey in the jar.

[Verse 2]
  C                            Am
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
  F                         C
I put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny
                                  Am
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
        F                             C
But the devil take the women for they never can be easy

[Chorus]
      G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack fol the daddy o,
F
Whack fol the daddy o,
        C       G      C
There's whiskey in the jar.

[Verse 3]
  C                        Am
I went into my chamber all for to take a slumber,
  F                                 C
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder.
                                  Am
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water,
     F                             C
Then sent for Captain Farrel to be ready for the slaughter.

[Chorus]
      G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack fol the daddy o,
F
Whack fol the daddy o,
        C       G      C
There's whiskey in the jar.

[Verse 4]
      C                            Am
'Twas early in the morning, just before I rose to travel
   F                           C
Up comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrel
                                     Am
I first produced me pistol for she'd stolen away me rapier
      F                              C
But I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken

[Chorus]
      G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack fol the daddy o,
F
Whack fol the daddy o,
        C       G      C
There's whiskey in the jar.

[Verse 5]
            C                        Am
Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rolling
    F                          C
and others take delight in the hurling and the bowling
                          Am
but I take delight in the juice of the barley
    F                                 C
and courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early

[Chorus]
      G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack fol the daddy o,
F
Whack fol the daddy o,
        C       G      C
There's whiskey in the jar.

[Verse 6]
   C                          Am
If anyone can aid me, 'tis me brother in the army,
   F                         C
If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney.
                                  Am
And if he'll go with me, we'll go roaming in Kilkenny.
        F                                  C
And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me own, me sporting Jenny.

[Chorus]
      G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack fol the daddy o,
F
Whack fol the daddy o,
        C       G      C
There's whiskey in the jar.

      G
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack fol the daddy o,
F
Whack fol the daddy o,
        C       G      C
There's whiskey in the jar.
