[D] [Bm] Oh,

[Bm] [D]

Hey!
[A] [Bm]
[D]
[Bm]
[D] As [G] [A] [D] I was going over the carping, hairy mountains,
I met the captain for a land.
He's a funny and he was counting.
I first produced me pistol, and then produced me rapier.
Said, stand and deliver.
For you are the boldest seaver, [A] mushering, dum-a-doo, dum-a-da.
[D] What for the daddy [G]-o?
What for the daddy [D]-o?
There's whiskey in the jar.
I was a pretty penny.
[G] I put it in my pocket [D] and I brought it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore that she never could deceive me.
For the devil take the women.
For they never can be easy, [A] mushering, dum-a-doo, dum-a [D]-da.
What for the daddy-o?
[G] What for the daddy-o?
[D] There's whiskey in the jar.
Yee-haw!
Right into me chamber, [Bm] all for to take and slumber.
[D] I dreamt of golden jewels and fur, sure as was my wonder.
Jenny drew me [Bm] cardigans and she filled them up with water.
[D] I sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slugger,
[A] mushering, dum-a-doo, dum-a-da.
[D] What for the daddy [G]-o?
What for the daddy [D]-o?
There's whiskey in the jar.
Na-na-na [A]-na-na-na [Bm]-na-na.
Na-na-na-na [D]-na -na-na.
Na-na-na-na [A]-na-na [Bm]-na-na.
It [D] was early in the morning just before I rose to travel.
Ha-ha!
[G] Came a band of good men [D] and likewise Captain Farrell.
So I first produced me pistol, for [Bm] she stole away me rapier.
[G] But I couldn't shoot the [D] water, so a prisoner I was taken,
[A] mushering, dum-a-doo, dum-a-da.
[D]
What for the,
[G] What for [D] the daddy-o?
[A] There's [D] whiskey in the jar
Mush [A] a ring dum a doo dum a [D] da
Quack, quack, la-da [G]-dee-o
Quack, quack, la-da-dee [D]-o
There's whiskey in the jar
[A] [D] If anyone can aid [Bm] me
It's me brother in the army
[G] I'd like to find his [D] station
In Corcoran Killarney
And if you'll go with me
[G] We'd go [D] hurling through Kilkenny
[Bm] And you'll see me [A] better [G] than me
Darling, sport and Jenny
[A] Mush a ring dum a doo dum a da
[D] Quack, quack, la-da-dee-o
Quack, quack, la-da-dee-o
There's whiskey in the [A] jar
Mush a ring dum a doo dum a [G] da
[D] There's [G]
[D] whiskey in the jar
Mush [A] a ring dum a doo dum a [D] da
Quack, quack, la-da-dee [G]-o
Quack, quack, la-da-dee-o
There's whiskey in the [Dm] jar
