WHISKEY IN THE JAR CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] G C Am ■ ■ As I was a goin' over the far famed Kerry mountains F C I met with captain Farrell and his money he was counting Am I first produced my pistol and I then produced my rapier F C Saying Stand and deliver for he were a bold deceiver G C Musha ring dumba do dumba da F Whack fall the daddyo whack fall the daddyo C There's whiskey in the jar 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 G C Musha ring dumba do dumba da F Whack fall the daddyo whack fall the daddyo G C There's whiskey in the jar Am I went unto 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 Farrell to be ready for the slaughter G C Musha ring dumba do dumba da F Whack fall the daddyo whack fall the daddyo G C There's whiskey in the jar Am 'twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel F C Up comes a band of footmen and likewise captain Farrell 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 G C Musha ring dumba do dumba da F Whack fall the daddyo whack fall the daddyo [Chorus] G C There's whiskey in the jar Am7 Am Now there's some take delight in the carriages a rollin' 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 G C Musha ring dumba do dumba da F Whack fall the daddyo whack fall the daddyo G C There's whiskey in the jar Am If anyone can aid me 'tis my brother in the army F C If I can find his station in Cork or in Killarney Am7 Am And if he'll go with me we'll go rovin' in Kilkenney F C And I'm sure he'll treat me better than me own me sportin' Jenny G C Musha ring dumba do dumba da F Whack fall the daddyo whack fall the daddyo G C There's whiskey in the jar G Musha ring dumba do dumba da C F Whack fall the daddyo whack fall the daddyo G C There's whiskey in the jar [End]
