Whiskey In the Jar chords
Irish Folk

C Am As I was going over the far famed Kerry mountains,
F C GI met with Captain Farrell and his money he was count'n.
C Am I first produced me pistol, and then produced me rapier,
F C Saying stand and deliver for you are the bold deceiver.

C G CThere's whiskey in the jar
C AmI counted out his money and it made a pretty penny,
F C GI put it in me pocket and I took it home to Jenny.
C AmShe sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me,
F CBut the devil take the women for they never can be easy.

C AmI went up to me chamber all for to take a slumber
F C GI dreamt of gold and jewels and sure it was no wonder,
C AmBut Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water,
F CAnd sent for Captain Farrel, to be ready for the slaughter.

C Am'Twas early in the morning before I rose to travel,
F C GUp comes a band of footmen and likewise Captain Farrell;
C AmI first produce my pistol, for she stole away my rapier
F CBut I couldn't shoot the water, so a prisoner I was taken.

C AmAnd if anyone can aid me, 'tis my brother in the army,
F C GIf I could learn his station in Cork or in Killarney.
C AmAnd if he'd come and join me we'd go roving through Kilkenny,
F CI'm sure he'd treat me fairer than my own sporting Jenny.

C AmThere's some takes delight in the carriages a rolling,
F C GSome takes delight in the hurlin' or the bowlin'.
C AmBut I takes delight in the juice of the barley,
F CAnd courting pretty fair maids in the morning bright and early.
