Nancy Whiskey Lyrics And Guitar Chords
A traditional Scottish song that made it's way to Ireland through the singing of The Dubliners and was later covered by Shane MacGowan And The Popes. Also recorded by Irish / American group Gaelic Storm. This version here is The Popes version except Shane sings it in the key of G Major but I sing it in the key of D Major. Tin Whistle Notes. There's a whole raft of songs on the site that have the name ''Whiskey'' in the title. Whiskey In The Jar [ lyrics ] is the most popular Irish folk song of all time.
