[Verse 1]
C
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
                F
One a day -I-ay-I-ay
Am             G           F          C
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
               G   C
Of a fine soft day-I-ay
      F        C                F        C
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
           Am       G             F         C
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
      F          C           F        C
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
           Am       G           F      C
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

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

[Verse 3]
C                                               F
When I woke up I was all alone (of a day-i-ay-i-ay)
       Am     G           F      C                    G     C
With a broken heart and a ticket home (of a fine soft day-i-a)
      F       C            F              C
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
       Am       G             F         C
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
     F        C                 F             C
I've traveled around, I've been all over this world
       Am               G              F      C
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
 
 
[Outro]
