VERSE 1
        D5
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk 
                 G5
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 
  D5                        G5          D5
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk 
     D5         A5     D5
Of a fine soft day-i-ay 
      G5        D5                G5        D5 
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
           B5       A5             G5         D5   
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
      G5          D5           G5        D5
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 
           B5       A5           G5      D5
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

VERSE 2
        D5
We were halfway there when the rain came down 
                 G5
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
        B5       A5         G5        D5
And she asked me up to her flat downtown 
     D5         A5     D5
Of a fine soft day-i-ay 
      G5        D5                G5        D5  
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
           B5       A5             G5         D5 
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
     G5        D5          G5          D5 
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
      B5      A5          G5      D5
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

     D5 
When I woke up I was all alone 
     D5               G5
[melody only on this line]
       B5     A5           G5      D5        
With a broken heart and a ticket home 
 D5      A5      D5
[melody only on this line]
      G5       D5            G5              D5
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
       B5       A5             G5         D5 
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
     G5        D5                    G5         D5
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
             B5         A5              G5      D5 
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
