THIN LIZZY - "Whiskey In The Jar (traditional)" Tablature
Official THIN LIZZY Tablature & Sheet Music »
Song: Whiskey In The Jar
Band: Traditional Irish Folk Version
Tabbed By: Johnny + Monky
Ok heres the original folk version of Whiskey In The Jar,
Don't get it mixed up with the Thin Lizzy version cause' the
words are changed and the tempo is slower. Use the G-barre chord
and possably the D-7 Chord on the 3rd Position or the D barre
chord on the 10th fret, Use the normal C and E minor chords.
Make your own strumming pattern up or use the one i used which
was : 1 2 3&4&5, use down strokes on the first two beats. Have fun!
G
AS I WAS GOING OVER,
Em
THE KIL-MA-GENNY MOUNTAIN,

I MET CAPTAIN FARREL AND

HIS MONEY HE WAS COUNTING
I FIRST PRODUCED MY PISTOL, AND

BOLD DECIEVER.

The solo is similar to the Thin Lizzy one but is slightly altered in
places. During the solo there should be and another guitarist struming
through the chords, with the correct timing the solo should end just
before he plays the chorus and so the singer comes back in for the
chorus, a good amount of timing required but you wont be disapointed
with the result, rock on and goodluck!
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.
