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!

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!
