G Em
As I was a goin' over the cork in Kerry mountains

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

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|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
|-------------------------|
+3

I think it sounds better this part
|----------------------------------------|
|-------7-8---7-----8--------------------|
|--77-9-----9---7-9----------------------|x3
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
if played like this
|----------------------------------------|
|-------7-8---7-----8--------------------|
|-777h9-----9---7/9----------------------|x3
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
|----------------------------------------|
slide from 7 to 9 but don't pick the 9
let me know what yous think
