Whiskey In The Jar - THIN LIZZY


intro: a G Em (scrape strings with a pick or strum very fast)
main riff: | G F e G | (2 times)
| ^ ^ strum... |

As GI was goin' over the e Cork and Kerry mountains
I sCaw Captain Farrell and his mGoney he was countin'
I fGirst produced my pistol and te hen produced my rapier
I said sCtand-o and deliver or the dGevil he may take ya

chorus: Musha rDing dum a doo dum a da
       C Whack for my daddy-o

Whack for my daddy-o
        There's wGhiskey 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 | e | G | ad libitum, fading out

notes: 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.

main riff:

this lick is not enough... I think there's probably another guitar doubling
five semitones lower, or maybe Gary Moore 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.
