D                                    A
Maybe someday, I'll go back again to Ireland
                                    D
If my dear old wife would only pass away
                                            Em
She nearly has my heart broke with all her naggin'
                      A7            D
She's got a mouth as big as Galway Bay


[Verse 2]

D                                        A
See her drinkin' 16 pints of Pabst Blue Ribbon
                                       D
And then she can walk home without a sway
                                       Em
If the sea were beer instead of salty water
                          A7      D
She would live and die in Galway Bay


[Verse 3]

D                                       A
See her drinkin' 16 pints of Pat Joe Murphy's
                                           D
When the barman says "I think it's time to go"
                                   Em
She doesn't try to speak to him in Gaelic
                          A7            D
But a language that the clergy do not know


[Verse 4]

D                                     A
On her back she has tattooed a map of Ireland
                                     D
And when she takes her bath on Saturday
                                       Em
She rubs the sunlight soap around by Claddagh
                             A7             D
Just to watch the suds roll down by Galway Bay
