Irish song called The Orange and the Green and it's from our second album in 19_
Here we go, Orange and Green. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ [G] _
_ [D] _ [Em] Here we [A] go!
[D] Oh it is the biggest mix-up [A] that you have ever seen
[G] If [D] father he was orange [E] and me mother [D] she was green Piggy in!
Oh my father was an Ulster man, [A] Fred Potten and Blonsky
[G] My mother was [D] a Catholic girl [A] from St.
[D] Margo and Dean
They [Bm] were married in two [Em] churches in [A] Hathaway and [G] Nome
Until the [D] day that I was [Em] born in [A] St.
[D] Gennarattara
Oh it is the biggest mix-up [A] that you have ever seen
[G] If father [D] he was orange and me mother she was green _
At night my father Riley I [A] would rust away my cotter
To [G] me me and a little [D] Ollie spent [A] me father [D] trying his doner
I was [Bm] a Christian named Anthony [Em] but still in [A] spite of that
[G] To my father I [D] was William while [Em] me mother [A] called [D] me Pat
Oh it is the biggest mix-up [A] that you have ever seen
[G] If father [D] he was orange and me mother she was green
Take it boy!
With father every Sunday [A] to Mass I proudly stole Oh nice!
[G] In Naples at [D] the Orange Lads [A] would try [D] to save my soul Uh-oh!
[Bm] For both sides had saved [Em] me but I was [A] far because
[G] I played the [D] flute or played the [Em] harp [A] depending [D] where I was Lovely!
Oh it is the biggest mix-up [A] that you have ever seen
[G] If [D] father he was orange and [Em] me mother [D] she was green Shorty!
Now when I sing them rebel [A] songs which gave me mother joy
[G] If father [D] would jump up and say [Em] look here [D] William the boy
That made enough of that [Em] lost money then [A] cut me a coin
[G] I need a [D] piece of orange [Em] full of all [D] the heroes of the boy
Oh it is the biggest mix-up [A] that you have ever seen
[G] If father [D] he was orange and [Em] me mother [D] she was [B] green
One day [E] me mother made sheds [B] came round to visit me Uh-oh!
[A] As [E] my father's kids [B] pulled her up to the [E] countertea
We [C#m] tried to spill things over but they all [B] began to fight
And me [A] being strict renewed so I passed everyone [E] in sight
Oh it is the biggest mix-up that [B] you have ever [A] seen
If father [F#] he was orange and me mother [E] she was green
_ My parents never could agree [B] about my type of school
[A] My learning was all done at home [B] that's why [E] I'm such a fool
Me [C#m] mother passed on but rest in little did me [B] cut me clean
Dad [A] often [E] covered for a blub [B] of the orange and [E] green
Oh it is the biggest mix-up [B] that you have ever seen
[A] If father [E] he was orange [B] and me mother [E] she was green
Yes it is the biggest mix-up that you have ever seen
[A] If father he [F#] was orange and me mother she [E] was green
_ _ Well done boys!
[C#] Very very well done!
You got your Irish on today boys!
Yes well done! _ _
