Whiskey In The Jar Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]As I was going over the [Em]Cork
and Kerry mountains,
I [C]met with Captain Farrell,
his [G]money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol,
and [Em]then produced me rapier,
Same [C]stand and deliver,
for you [G]are a bald deceiver,
Which you're [D]in, dum -a -doo,
dum -a -da.
[G]Whack for my [C]daddy -o
[G]Whack [C]for my daddy -o
There's [G]whisky [D]in the[G] jar
Well, I counted out his money
And [Em]it made a pretty penny
I [C]put it in me pocket
And I [G]took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore
That she [Em]never would deceive me
But the [C]devil take the women
For they [G]never can rest easy
With shur [D]-in dum -a -doo dum -a -da
[G]Whack for my daddy -o,
[C]whack for my [Em]daddy [G]-o
[C]The[G]re's whisky in [D]the jar[G]
Well, I went into me chamber
All [Em]far to take a slumber
I [C]dreamt of golden jewels
And, [G]Christ, it was no wonder
For Jenny took me charges
She [Em]filled them up with water
And [C]sent for Captain Farrell
To be [G]ready for the slaughter
Which you're [D]in, dum -a -doo,
dum -a -da
[G]Whack for my daddy -o,
[C]whack for my daddy -o
There's [G]whisky [D]in the [G]jar
Well, it was early in the morning
Just before [Em]I rose to travel
Off [C]drove a band of footmen
And [G]likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol
She'd [Em]stolen away me rapier
I [C]couldn't fire the water
That [G]prisoner I was takin'
Witcher [D]in dum -a -doo -dum -a -da
[G]Whack for my daddy -o[C][Em]
[G]There's whiskey [D]in the [G]jar
If there's anyone can aid me
It's me [Em]brother in the army
If [C]I can find a station
In [G]Cork or in Killarney
I know that he'd go with me
For [Em]Alvin or Uncle Kenny
I [C]know he'd treat me better
Than me [G]Uncle Sporting Jenny
Witcher [D]in dum -a -doo -dum -a -da
[G]Whack for my daddy [C]-o,
whack for my [Em]daddy -o
There's [G]whiskey [D]in the [G]jar
Now there's some take the light
in [Em]the carriages a -rollin'
And [C]others take the light
in the [G]hurlin' and the bowlin'
But me, I take the light
in the [Em]juice of the barley
And [C]poor unmarried women
in the [G]mornin' bright and early
Witcher [D]in a -ma -doo -da -ma -da
[G]Whack for my daddy -o,
