THIN LIZZY - "whiskey in the jar" Tablature
Official THIN LIZZY Tablature & Sheet Music »
Artist: Thin Lizzy(Metallica)
Song: Whiskey in the Jar
Transcribed by: Justin Servis 14/1/2000 (justin99@ignmail.com)
ok, there are two main riffs, the chorus riff, and the verse riff.
listen to the song to work out where they go.
the song starts halfway through the chorus riff, so i’ll put that down as the intro.
i also included the changes made by myself and metallica.
i’ll write this down the way i play it. i think the original is just the
basic notes(the same as the chords).
the verse riff2 and chorus riff2 are played at the end of the guitar solo.

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official THIN LIZZY tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
