~ Raised on Black and Tans by Gaelic Storm ~
============================================
G G
I was raised on Black and Tans,
D G
with Ronnie Drew, and Van the Man
G
I go off to mass on Sunday
D G
and then it's back to the pub on Monday
C
I've got a sister Meghan
D
with a Celtic cross tattoo
C
I'll tell you a few stories
G D
and every one of them is true
[CHORUS
]
C D
My mother's, brother's, sister's, cousin's, auntie's
C D G
Uncle Barney's, father's, brother had a counsin from Killarney
G
Well my great-grandda, and his mates
D G
they tried to make it to the States
G
his great uncle, he was a failure
D G
he got deported off to Australia
C
so they stowed upon a steamer
D
on the famous White Star Line
C
I was raised upon these stories
G D
since i was the age of nine
[CHORUS
]
G
Well my great uncle, he liked the races
D G
he liked the dogs and steeplechases
G
his wife, my dear old auntie
D G
she kept a teashop way, way down in Bantry
C
but he fixed a race in Donegal
D
and now he's got to hide
C
with the sticky buns and cakes and guns
G D
and whiskey on the side
[CHORUS
]
G
I was raised on Black and Tans
D G
with Ronnie Drew and Van the Man
G
I go to mass on Sunday
D G
and the it's back to the pub on Monday
C
I'm from the wrong side of the south side
D
of an Irish neighborhood
C
I've never been to Ireland
G D
but I know it's in my blood
[CHORUS
]
