C
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
                F
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
  C
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
               F          C
Of a fine soft day-I-ay-I-ay
                                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
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
           Am       G           F      C
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

C
We were halfway there when the rain came down
                F
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
        Am       G         F        C
So, she asked me up to her flat downtown
               F          C
Of a fine soft day-I-ay-I-ay
                                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
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]
C
When I woke up I was all alone
       Am     G           F      C
With a broken heart and a ticket home
                           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
You see, I've traveled around, I've been all over this world
         Am         G                F      C
But I've never seen nothin' like the Galway girl
