D5 G5 I took a stroll down the old long walk On the day-I-ay-I-ay D5 C5 A5 G5 D5 I met a little girl and we stopped to talk On a grand top day-I-ay G5 D5 G5 D5 And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do C5 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 C5 A5 G5 D5 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 D5 G5 So, when I woke up I was all alone C5 A5 G5 D5 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.
