[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                           
Musha ring dumba do dumba da
C                     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                           
Musha ring dumba do dumba da
C                     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                    
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
                          Am7           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
                              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                         C 
Musha ring dumba do dumba da
               F                           
Whack fall the daddyo whack fall the daddyo
G               C         
There's whiskey in the jar
