Whiskey In The Jar Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]As I was walking
over the [Em]far -famed Kerry Mountains,
I [C]met with Captain Farrow
and the [G]money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol,
and [Em]then produced me right gear, said,
[C]Snared and delivered,
for I [G]am a bold deceiver.
Mosh -a [D]-ring dum -a -doo dum -a -dah!
[G]What for the daddy -o?
[C]What for the daddy -o?
There's [D]whisky in the [G]jar.
I counted out his money,
it [Em]made a pretty penny
I put [C]it in me pocket
and I [G]took it home to Ginny
She sighed and she swore
that she'll [Em]never deceive me
But the [C]devil take the women
for they [G]never can't be easy
Musha [D]ring dum -a -doo dum -a -da
[G]What for the daddy oar?
[C]What for the daddy oar?
There's [G]whiskey in the jar
I went into my chamber
[Em]for to take a slumber
I [C]dreamt of gold and jewels
and [G]for sure it was no wonder
Ginny took me charges
and [Em]filled them up with water
Then [C]called for Captain Farrell
to be [G]ready for the slaughter
Musha [D]ring dum -a -doo dum -a -die
[G]Whack for the daddy -o,
[C]whack for the daddy -o,
[G]there's whisky in [D]the jar[G]
[Em][C][G]
[Em][C][G]
Musha [D]ring dum -a -doo dum -a -dum
[G]Whack for the daddy -o,
[C]whack for the daddy -o,
there's [G]whisky in the jar
[D]It was [G]early in the morning
[Em]before I rushed to travel
Up [C]came about a footman
and like[G]wise Epton Farrell
While I first produced me pistol,
she had [Em]taken away me right here
So I [C]couldn't shoot the water
and the [G]prisoner I was taking was sharing
[D]Wha[G]t for the daddy -o?
[C]What for the daddy -o?
[G]There's whisky in the jar
And if anyone could help me,
it's my [Em]brother in the army
[C]Come and help me find him
in [G]Cork or Killarney
Well together we'll go roaming
the [Em]mountains of Kilkelby
And I'm [C]sure he'll treat me better
than my [G]lying, cheating Ginny
Musha [D]ring dum -a -doo dum -a -da
[G]What for the daddy -o?
[C]What for the daddy -o?
There's [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar
Musha [D]ring dum -a -doo
dum -a -da
[G]What for the daddy -o?
[C]What for the daddy -o?
[G]There's whisky [D]in the [G]jar.
