[D] [Em] The next song, ladies and gentlemen, we'd like to dedicate to the man here on the extreme right.
His name is Ciarán Burke, [A] and the subject is whiskey, and it's called Whiskey in a Jar, and it goes [G] like this.
[D] As I was going over [Bm] the far-famed Kerry Mountains, [G] I met with Captain Farrell and his [D] money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol and I [Bm] then produced my [G] rapier, to expand and deliver [D] for you are a bold deceiver.
[A] Mushroom, da-ba-doo-da-ba-da.
[D] Whack-ball, da-da-dee [G]-oh.
Whack-ball, da-da-dee [D]-oh, there's whiskey in the jar.
I counted out his money, [Bm] and it made a pretty penny.
I [G] put it in me pocket [D] and I took it home to G.A.
She sighed and she swore [Bm] that she never would deceive me.
[G] But the devil take the women, [D] for they never can be easy.
Mushroom, [A] da-ba-doo-da-ba-da.
[D] Whack-ball, da-da-dee [G]-oh.
Whack-ball, da-da-dee [D]-oh, there's whiskey in the jar.
I went up to my chamber, [Bm] all four to take a slumber.
[G] I dreamt of golden jewels [D] and for sure it was no wonder.
But Jenny drew me chargings and she [Bm] filled them up with water.
[G] Then sent for Captain Farrell to [D] be ready for the slaughter, [A] Mushroom, da-ba-doo-da-ba-da.
[D] Whack-ball, da-da-dee-oh.
[G]
Whack-ball, da-da-dee-oh, [D] there's whiskey in the jar.
And it was early in the morning, just [Bm] before I rose to travel.
[G] Up comes a man with a footman, and [D] likewise Captain Farrell.
I first produced me pistol, [Bm] for she'd stolen away me rapier.
[G] I couldn't shoot the water, [D] so a prisoner I was taken, I [A] surrendered.
[D] Whack-ball, da-da-dee-oh.
[G] Whack-ball, da-da [D]-dee-oh, there's whiskey in the jar.
And if anyone can aid me, [Bm] it is my brother in the army.
[G] If I can find a station [D] in Cork or in Killarney.
And if he'll go with me, [Bm] we'll go roaming in Tunkenny.
[G] And I'm sure he'll treat me better [D] than my own, my sporting Jenny, [A] Mushroom, da-ba-doo-da-ba-da.
[D] Whack-ball, da-da-dee-oh.
[G] Whack-ball, da-da-dee-oh, [D] there's whiskey in the jar.
[A] And my shirt ain't da-ba-doo-da-ba-da.
[D]
Whack-ball, da-da-dee [G]-oh.
