The Seekers – Whiskey In The Jar (Guitar)

   C                Am
As I went a-walkin' on Kilgary Mountain

  F                             C            Am
I spied Colonel Pepper, and his money he was countin'

  F                            C             Am
I rattled out my pistols and I drew forth my saber

         F                        C           Am
Cryin', "Stand and deliver, for I am a bold deceiver"

      G7             C
Musha rig um dum da

                       F
Whack fol the daddy o

F
Whack fol the daddy o

        C      G      C
There's whisky in the jar

                                Am
The gold and silver coins, they looked so bright and shiny

      F                                C              Am
Oh, I took them home straightway and I gave 'em to my Molly

    F                               C             Am
She vowed and she promised that she never would deceive me

        F                             C           Am
But the devil's in the women, oh, you never can believe 'em

      G7             C
Musha rig um dum da

                       F
Whack fol the daddy o

F
Whack fol the daddy o

        C      G      C
There's whisky in the jar

                   Am
But when I awoke between six and seven

    F                             C               Am
The guards were all around me, in numbers odd and even

  F                            C             Am
I reached for my pistols, but alas, I was mistaken

   F                             C              Am
My pistols had been fired, and a prisoner I was taken

      G7             C
Musha rig um dum da

                       F
Whack fol the daddy o

        C      G      C
There's whisky in the jar

                            Am
They put me in the jail without judge or writin'

    F                           C          Am
For robbing Colonel Pepper, oh, on Kilgary Mountain

         F                          C                  Am
But they didn't take my fists, so I knocked the sentry down

    F                            C     Am
And bade farewell to the jail in Sligo town

      G7             C
Musha rig um dum da

                       F
Whack fol the daddy o

        C      G      C
There's whisky in the jar

                            Am
Some people take delight in fishin' and in bowlin'

    F                            C           Am
Oh, others take delight in their carriages a-rollin'

    F                     C            Am
But I take delight in the juice of the barley

    F                              C          Am
And courtin' pretty girls 'til the morning so early

      G7             C

There's whisky__, oh, whisky in the jar
