As [G]
[Em]
[G]
I was going over the [Em] Cork and Kerry mountains, I [C] saw Captain Pharaoh and his money he was counting.
I first produced my pistol and [Em] then produced my radio.
I [C] said, stand on what you live on [G] the devil, he may take you, but [D] your reign double do double does.
[C] Wait for my radio, wait for my radio, [G] there's whiskey in the jar.
I [Em]
[G] took
[Em]
[G]
all of his money and [Em] it was a pretty penny.
[C] I took all of his money and [G] I brought it home to Mali.
Just swore that you loved him, [Em] never would you need me.
[C] But the devil take that woman, for [G] you know she'll drink me.
You say, but [D] your reign double do double does.
[D] [C] Wait for my radio, wait for my radio, [G] there's whiskey in the jar.

Being drunk and weary, [Em] I went to Mali's chamber, [C] taking my Mali with me.
[G] And I knew the danger, four by six or maybe seven.
[Em] Then I
[C] shot
[G] him with both barrels, [D] but your reign double do double [D] does.
[C] Wait for my radio, wait for my radio, [G] there's whiskey in the jar.
[Em]
[G] I'm so sick [Em]
of [G] waiting.
I smell like a fishing, [Em] I smell like a filing, [C] I smell like the air.
[G] I can't unwind.
Me, I like sleeping, [Em] especially in my Mali's chamber.
[C] But here I am in prison, [G] here I am with a bone and chain.
But [D] your reign double do double does.
[C] Wait for my radio, wait for my radio, [G] there's whiskey in the jar.
[Em]
I am drunk [G] on whiskey.
[Em]
And [G] I know that I love my Mario.
