D As I was goin´ over Bm The Cook and Kerry mountains G I saw the Captain Farrell D His money he was countin´ D I first produced my pistol Bm And then produced my rapier G I said stand and deliver D Or the devil he may take ya Chorus: A Musha rain dumb'a dumb'a dumb dah G Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o D There´s whiskey in the jar-o 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 treat me easy Chorus And some men like the fishing, some men like the fowling Some men like to hear a cannon ball a-roaring But me, I like sleeping, especially in my Molly's chamber But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and change Chorus: Dum a doo dum a da Whack for my daddy-o Whack for my daddy-o There's whiskey in the jar-o You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  Bm  D  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
