Thin Lizzy are an Irish hard rock band who formed in Dublin, Ireland in 1969. The band were led throughout their recording career by bassist, songwriter and singer Phil Lynott, and are best known for their songs Whiskey in the Jar, Jailbreak and The Boys Are Back in Town, all major international hits still played regularly on hard rock and classic rock radio stations. After Lynott died, various incarnations of the band have emerged over the years culminating in a more stable line-up based around guitarists Scott Gorham and John Sykes.

Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o GFEmGFEmG Theres whiskey in the jar-o
[Verse 2]
Em I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny CG I took all of his money and I brought it home to molly Em She swore that shed love me, never would she leave me CG But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy
[Chorus]
DC Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o GFEmGFEmG Theres whiskey in the jar-o
[Verse 3]
Em Being drunk and weary I went to mollys chamber CG Takin my money with me and I never knew the danger Em For about six or maybe seven in walked captain farrell CG I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels
[Chorus]
DC Musha ring dum a doo dum a da
Whack for my daddy-o
Whack for my daddy-o GFEmGFEmG Theres whiskey in the jar-o
