[verse]
   G                       Em
As I was a goin' over the cork in Kerry mountains
   C                           G
I saw captain Farrell and his money he was counting
   G                            Em
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
        C                          G
I Said "Stand and deliver" or the devil he may take ya
 
 
[Chorus:]
D
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
C
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o
         G
There's whiskey in the jar

  G                            Em
I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
C                              G
I took all of his money and i brought it home to molly
G                          Em
She swore that she love me never would she leave me
        C                             G
But the devil take the women for you know she tricked me easy

For about six maybe seven in walks captain farrell
C                                      G
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and shot him with both barrels

C
Whack for my daddy-o. Whack for my daddy-o

Here's something I noticed... In this part of the intro, how you grouped the numbers together, people might mistake the rhythm. |--8-88-7-5-7-77-5-------| |------------------8-8b10| |------------------------| |------------------------| |------------------------| |------------------------| It'd be better if you wrote it like this: |--8--8-87-5-7-7-75-------| |-------------------8-8b10| |-------------------------| |-------------------------| |-------------------------| |-------------------------|
