Bryan Adams - Whiskey In The Jar: chords

   G                     Em
As I was goin' over, the Cork and Kerry mountains
C                              G
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin
   G                            Em
I first produced my pistol and then
produced my rapier
         C                       G
I said stand and deliver or the devil
he may take ya

Chorus:
       D
Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
C
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
          G
There's whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his money and
it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and
I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me,
never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman
for you know she tricked me easy

Chorus

Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked
Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and
I shot him with both barrels

Chorus

Now some men like the fishin'
and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me? I like sleepin' especially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here
I am with a ball and chain, yeah

Chorus

And I got drunk on whiskey-o
And I love, I love, I love,
I love, I love, I love my Molly-o
