#intro: Am G Em (scrape strings with a pick or strum very fast)# | ^ ^ strum... |As [G]I was goin' over the [Em]Cork and Kerry mountains
I s[C]aw Captain Farrell and his m[G]oney he was countin'
I f[G]irst produced my pistol and t[Em]hen produced my rapier
I said s[C]tand-o and deliver or the d[G]evil he may take ya
chorus: Musha r[D]ing dum a doo dum a da
[C] Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o
There's w[G]hiskey in the jar-o
main riff:
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:
solo: | G F Em |
^ ^ strum...
verse
chorus
main riff
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:
main riff:
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' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain, yeah
chorus:
Then | Em | G | ad libitum, fading out
Tab explanation:
---------------
a ^ under a note or a chord name means a staccato.
a |--3--| under the tab means a triplet.
14b(16)r14 means bend up one tone, then release.
some of the slide ups yoe see are actually bends... but it's a matter of
personal taste.

this is actually 2 electric guitars playing slightly different notes):

main riff:
---------
this lick is not enough... I think there's probably another guitar doubling
five semitones lower, or maybe Eric Bell uses an octave divider, or something
like that... I really can't understand where the trick is. While playing the
hammer-ons on the G string (7h9h11 and 0h2h4), be as quick as you can.
