Well I took a stroll on the old long walk of the day
[G] I [D] met a little [G] girl and we stopped [D] to talk
I was finding something to [G] say
And I asked [D] her friend, [G] what's a fella [D] do
[B] Cause her hair is black and her [D] eyes are blue
And I knew right then I'd be taking a whirl
Around [B] a salty prom with a Galway [D] girl
We [G] [D]
[E] [D]
were half way there when the rain came down on the day
[G]
She [D] asked me up to her flat downtown on a fine salty day
And I asked her friend, what's a fella do
[B] Cause her hair was black and her [D] eyes were blue
I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
[F#m] Oh, I lost my [G] heart to a Galway [D] girl

[G] [A]
[E] [D]
When I woke up I was all alone
[G]
With [Bm] a broken heart I took [D] it home
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
Cause her hair is black and her eyes are blue
Cause I've traveled around, I've been all over this world
Boy, I [A] ain't never seen nothing like a [D] Galway girl
