[Verse 1]

D

Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk On a day -I-ay-I-ay

D A G

On a day -I-ay-I-ay

D

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk On a fine soft day -I-ay

D G D

On a fine soft day -I-ay

G D G D

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

Bm A G D

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

G D G D

And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl

Bm G D

'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

[Verse 2]

D

We were halfway there when the rain came down On a day -I-ay-I-ay

On a day -I-ay-I-ay

And she asked me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

D G D

Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay

G D G D

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

Bm A G D

'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

G D G D

So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl

Bm G D

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

D G

When I woke up I was all alone

D G D

With a broken heart and a ticket home

G D G D

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do

Bm A G D

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

G D G D

'Cause I've traveled around. I've been all over this world

Bm A G D

Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

[Bridge] (x3)
