D G I took a stroll down the old long walk On the day-I-ay-I-ay D C A G D I met a little girl and we stopped to talk On a grand top day-I-ay G D G D And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do C 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 C A G D Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl (Repeat): We were halfway there when the rain came down On the day-I-ay-I-ay And she took me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day-I-ay And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do If her hair was black and her eyes were blue So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl And I lost my heart to a Galway girl D G So, when I woke up I was all alone C A G D With a broken heart and a ticket home (Repeat Chorus Chords): And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do If her hair was black and her eyes were blue See I've traveled around, I've been over the world I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do If her hair was black and her eyes were blue See I've traveled around, been all over the world Boy, I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl.
