Irish Celebration

2 
capo 2 

Intro: |C G Am F| 6x 




C               G 
I'm an Irishman 
                           Am 
Leather weathered Irish skin 
                        F            
Beard orange as the sunset over the flag 
C 
In the night sky we fly it in 
G 
Pride for the life we fight to live 
Am 
History, I write with it 
Am 
Spit it with the dialect 
C 
And this is a celebration of course 
G 
The green, white, orange 
Am 
And when they pulled up on that shore 
F 
First generation born 
C 
Toast to those that made it on a boat to New York 
G 
And when the English came the colonizer came 
Am 
They filled up bottles of gasoline, turned 'em into balls of flame 
F 
And hurled 'em to protect what's ours 
C 
Don't touch these lucky charms 
G 
Whole bunch of Irish screaming "Fuck the London Guard" 
Am 
I'm kidding not dissin' London, this bloody war 
F 
But go against the Irish and get a bloody jaw 
C 
Preaching nonviolence but reminds of the scars 
G 
And the bias, put a pint up everybody sing a song 

C 
We put our glass to the sky and lift up 
Am 
And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 
F 
So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 
Am 
And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

Same the rest of the time 

We put our glass to the sky and lift up 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

From New England to New Brunswick 

Galway to Dublin 

A rebellious nation of freckled face hustlers 

Heart, blue collared workers and family 

My heritage, proud to be a Haggerty 

Now with whiskey in our veins 

Claiming were the bravest men 

I drank Old Crow, but pretended it was Jameson 

Dad sipped Guiness, I sipped Old English 

'Til he sat me down at 16 and said "boy, this is what a beer is" 

I put down the drink, couldn't drink like a gentleman 

That doesn't mean I can't make a drinking song for the rest of 'em 

Challenge us in football, yeah we might lose 

But don't put us next to a bar stool 

We take the history, script it in song 

Light the torch then you pass it on 


That's right I said, lineage through the rhythm we script it from the palm 

and we give til' Ireland is on 

Bottoms Up 

We put our glass to the sky and lift up 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 


We put our glass to the sky and lift up 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya 

So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us 

And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya
