Whiskey In The Jar

     C                    Am
    As I was a-goin' over Gilgarra mountains
     F                           C            Am
    I met Colonel Pepper and his money he was counting
      F                          C          Am
    I drew forth my pistol and I rattled my sabre
            F                        C           Am
    Saying "stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"

[Chorus]
          G7
    Musha ringum duram da
    C              C7
    Whack fol de daddy-o
    F
    Whack fol de daddy-o
            C       G      C
    There's whiskey in the jar

[Verse]
     C                            Am
    The shining yellow coins did sure look bright and jolly
       F                          C            Am
    I took the money home and I gave it to my Molly
          F                             C             Am
    She promised and she vowed that she never would deceive me
            F                             C           Am
    But the devil's in the women for they never can be easy

[Chorus]
          G7
    Musha ringum duram da
    C              C7
    Whack fol de daddy-o
    F
    Whack fol de daddy-o
            C       G      C
    There's whiskey in the jar

[Verse]
     C                         Am
    When I awoke between the hours of six and seven
      F                                  C            Am
    Guards were standing 'round me in numbers odd and even
       F                        C           Am
    I flew to my pistols, but alas I was mistaken
        F                           C           Am
    I fired off my pistols and a prisoner was taken

[Chorus]
          G7
    Musha ringum duram da
    C              C7
    Whack fol de daddy-o
    F
    Whack fol de daddy-o
            C       G      C
    There's whiskey in the jar

 [Verse]
         C                 Am
    They put me in jail without a judge or jury
          F                             C          Am
    For robbing Colonel Pepper in the morning so early
          F                          C              Am
    They didn't take my fist so I knocked down the sentry
            F                          C          Am
    And I bid a long farewell to that cold penitentiary

[Chorus]
          G7
    Musha ringum duram da
    C              C7
    Whack fol de daddy-o
    F
    Whack fol de daddy-o
            C       G      C
    There's whiskey in the jar

[Verse]
     C                    Am
    Some take delight in fishing and bowling
     F                           C          Am
    Others take delight in the carriage a-rollin'
     F                      C            Am
    I take delight in the juice of the barley
        F                          C         Am
    Courting pretty women in the morning so early

[Chorus]
          G7
    Musha ringum duram da
    C              C7
    Whack fol de daddy-o
    F
    Whack fol de daddy-o
            C       G      C
    There's whiskey in the jar
