Whisky In the Jar Misc Irish
As I [G]was going o[Em]ver, Gilgara Mountain,
I s[C]pied colonel Farrel, and h[G]is money he was counting.
At first I drew my pistol, a[Em]nd then I drew my rapier,
saying: "Stan[C]d and deliv[G]er, for I am your bold deciver"
D7 *
Musha Ringum Durum Da

Whack Fol the Daddy 'o
[Em]Whack Fol the Daddy [C]'o
there's whi[G]skey in the [D7]jar [G]
He cou[G]nted out his[Em] money, and it made a pretty penny,
I p[C]ut it in my pocket,
to take home[G] to darling Jenny,
She sighed and swore she loved me,
and ne[Em]ver would decieve me,
but the Devi[C]l take the women,
for they alwa[G]ys lie so easy
Chorus
And next morning early,
befo[Em]re I rose for travel,
[C]a-came a band of footmen,
and likewise C[G]olonel Farrel,
I goes to draw my pistol,
for s[Em]he had stolen away my rapier,
but a pri[C]soner I was taken,
I co[G]uldn't shoot the water
Chorus
They put into jail,
with a judg[Em]e all a writtin'.
[C]Robbin' Colonel Farrel,
on Gi[G]lgara Mountain.
But they didn't take me fists,
Em ***
and I knocked the jailer down,
[C]and bid a farewell
to this tig[G]ht fisted town
Chorus
There's some takes delight,
in the carri[Em]ages and rollin'.
[C]Some takes delight
in the Hur[G]ley or the Bollin'
But I takes delight,
in the jui[Em]ce of the barley,
Cou[C]rtin' pretty maids
in the morni[G]n', oh so early.
Chorus (Play the last two lines fast)
*= After the "Musha Ringum Durum Da" make three knocks on your guitar with your fist
**= After"Whack Fol the Daddy 'O" do This: Press and play Big E string in fret 3, then let go,
press and play the Big E in fret 2, let go and play the Big E string once while it's
loose - it makes a cool effect that goes like this: Dew, Duw, Doow. Do this at every chorus!
*** While playing "And I knocked the jailer down", do a hammer (hit the strings hard) on "knocked".
