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.
