Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]As I was going over
the [Bm]Cork and Kerry mountains,
I [G]met with Captain Furrow
and his [D]money he was counting.
I first produced me pistol,
I [Bm]then produced me rapier,
Since [G]then I'm the liver,
for you [D]aren't bound to savour.
Mush -a [A]-ring dum -a -doo dum -a -dah
[D]Whack -a -fall -a -daddy -o
[G]Whack -a -fall -a -daddy -o
This [D]whiskey [A]in the [D]jar
I counted out his money
It [Bm]made a pretty penny
I [G]put it in me pocket
I [D]took it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore
She nev[Bm]er would deceive me
With a [G]tittle of take those women
Well they [D]never can be easy
Mush -a [A]-ring dum -a -doo dum -a -dah
[D]Whack -a -fall -a -daddy -o
[G]Whack for the Danio,
there's [D]whisky [A]in the [D]jar
I went into my chamber,
all [Bm]for to take a slumber
I [G]dreamt of gold and jewels,
I'm [D]sure it was no wonder
Then Jenny drew me charges,
and [Bm]filled them up with water
And [G]sent for Captain Furrow,
to be [D]ready for the slaughter
Whack for [A]the [D]Danio,
[G]whack for the Danio,
there's [D]whisky [A]in the [D]jar
It was early in the morning
before [Bm]I rose to travel
Up [G]came a band of footmen
and [D]Madame Catherine Farrell
I first produced my pistol
while she'd [Bm]taken away my rapier
I [G]put a little shield to ward her
so the [D]prisoner I was taking
Mush -a [A]-ring -a -ba -doo -da -ba -da
[D]Like Paul and Danny O
[G]Like Paul and Danny O
There's [D]whiskey [A]in the [D]jar
If anyone can aid me
There's my [Bm]brother in the army
If [G]I can find a station
Me and [D]Cod are in Killarney
If he'll come and join me
We'll all [Bm]roll over in Kilkenny
I'm [G]sure he'd trade me fairer
Than my [D]old escortin' Jenny
Mush -a [A]-ring -a -ba -doo -da -ba -da
[D]Like Paul and Danny O
[G]Why call the daddy -o
this [D]whiskey in the jar?
Some take delight in fish
[Bm]ing or boating
Other[G]s take delight
in the [D]college wheels a -rollin'
But I take delight in the [Bm]juice of the Barney
I [G]burden pity for her mates
in the [D]mornin' bright and airy
Usher [A]in the medulla, madame
[D]Why call the daddy -o
[G]Why call the daddy -o
this [D]whiskey [A]in the [D]jar?
Pusher [A]in the ba -doo -da -ba -dow
[D]Whack for the daddy -o
[G]Whack for the daddy -o
This [D]whiskey in the [A]stout
