{ci: Verse 1}
Well I [D]took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a day-I-ay-I-[G]ay
I [D]met a little girl and we [G]stopped to [D]talk
Of a [D]fine soft day-I-ay
[Tacet]And I ask you, [D]friend [G][D]
What's [G]a fella to [D]do [G][D]
'Cause her [Bm]hair was [D]black and her [G]eyes were [D]blue [G][D]
And I [G]knew right [D]then [G][D]
I'd be [G]takin' a [D]whirl [G][D]
'Round the [Bm]Salthill [D]Prom with a [A]Galway [D]girl

{ci: Verse 2}
We were [D]halfway there when the rain came down
Of a day-I-ay-I-[G]ay
And she [D]asked me up to her [G]flat down-[D]town
Of a [D]fine soft day-I-ay
[Tacet]And I ask you, [D]friend [G][D]
What's [G]a fella to [D]do [G][D]
'Cause her [Bm]hair was [D]black and her [G]eyes were [D]blue [G][D]
So I [G]took her [D]hand [G][D]
And I [G]gave her a [D]twirl [G][D]
And I [Bm]lost my [D]heart to a [A]Galway [D]girl

When [D]I woke up I was all alone
With a [G]broken heart and a ticket [D]home

[Tacet]And I ask you [D]now [G][D]
What's [G]a fella [D]to do [G][D]
If her [Bm]hair was [D]black and her [G]eyes were [D]blue [G][D]
'Cause I've [G]traveled a-[D]round [G][D]
I've been all [G]over this [D]world [G][D]
Boys I ain't [Bm]never seen [D]nothin' like a [A]Galway [D]girl
