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 [D]
[D] / [D] / [G] / [D] / [G] [D] / [A] [D] / [A] / [A][G][D]
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 [D]

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