Whiskey In The Jar - Live Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]As [C]I was a goin' over
[Am]the far famed Kerry mountains
I [F]met with captain Farrell and
[C]his money he was counting
I first produced my pistol and I
[Am]then produced my rapier
Saying [F]"Stand and deliver" for
he [C]were a bold deceiver
Mush- [G]a ring dum- a do dum-

[Verse 2]
a da
[C]Whack for my daddy- o.
[F]Whack for my daddy- o
There's whiskey [G]in [C]the jar

[Verse 3]
I counted out [C]his money and
[Am]it made a pretty penny
I put [F]it in me pocket and I [C]took it
home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she
[Am]never would deceive me
But the [F]devil take the women for
they [C]never can be easy
Mush- a [G]ring dum- a do dum-

[Verse 4]
a da
[C]Whack for my daddy- o.
[F]Whack for my daddy- o
There's [G]whiskey in the [C]jar

[Verse 5]
I went up to [C]my chamber,
all [Am]for to take a slumber
I [F]dreamt of gold and jewels and
[C]for sure 't was no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges and she
[Am]filled them up with water
Then sen[F]t for captain Farrell to
be [C]ready for the slaughter
Mush- [G]a ring dum- a do dum-

[Verse 6]
a da
[C]Whack for my daddy- o.
[F]Whack for my daddy- o
There's [G]whiskey in the jar
[C]'Twas was early in the morning,

[Verse 7]
[C]
just be[Am]fore I rose to travel
Up [F]comes a band of footmen and
likewise [C]captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for
[Am]she stole away me rapier
[F]I couldn't shoot the water,
so a pris[C]oner I was taken
Mush- [G]a ring dum- a do dum-

[Verse 8]
a da
[C]Whack for my daddy- o.
[F]Whack for my daddy- o
There's [G]whiskey in the [C]jar

[Verse 9]
Now there's some take [C]delight
in the car[Am]riages a- rollin'
And [F]others take delight in
[C]the hurling and the bowling
But I take delight in [Am]the juice of the barley
And [F]courting pretty fair maids in
[C]the morning bright and early
Mush- a [G]ring dum- a do dum-

[Verse 10]
a da
Whack [C]for my daddy- o.
Whack [F]for my daddy- o
There's [G]whiskey in the [C]jar

[Verse 11]
If anyone can [C]aid me 't is
[Am]my brother in the army
If [F]I can find his station in
[C]Cork or in Killarney
And if he'll go with me,
we'll go [Am]rovin' through Killkenny
[F]And I'm sure he'll treat me better
than my [C]own a- sporting Jenny
Mush- a [G]ring dum- a do dum-

[Verse 12]
a da
Whack [C]for my daddy- o.
[F]Whack for my daddy- o
There's [G]whiskey in the jar
