[D]
In Oranmore, the county Galway, One pleasant evening in a month [G] of May,
I [D] spied a cutting [G] both rare [D] and handsome, [G] And her [D] beauty fervently took my breath away.
She kept on talking, we kept on walking, Till [G] our [D] father's cottage it came [G] into view.
[D] She said, Come in, son, and meet me father, [G] And [D] play the piece in the foggy dew.
[G]
[D] She sat me down over there, beside the turf fire, I could see [D] her father, he was six [G] feet tall,
And the [D] mother soon had [G] the [D] kettle boiling, [G] For all [D] I could think about was Galway's charm.
[A] She [D] wore no jewels, no costly diamonds, [G] No paint, [D] no powder, no, [G] no, no.
She [D] wore a bun, with a ribbon on it, [G] And [D] around her shoulder, the Galway [G] charm.
[D] I played a blackbird, with a stack of barley, [G] A [D] Rodney's glory, and a [G] foggy dew,
And she [A] sang [D] each note, [G] like an [D] Irish Lynette, [G] And her [D] tears they fell from her eyes, so true.
It was early, early, all in the morning, [G] I [D] hit the road for sweet [G] Donny's arm.
[F#m] I [D] smiled and thanked her, she cried and kissed me, [G] And my [D] heart remained with the Galway charm.
She [A] wore no jewels, [G] no [D] costly diamonds, [G] No [D] paint, no powder, no, no, [G] no.
She wore [A] a bun,
[G] with a [D] ribbon on it, [G] And [D] around her shoulder, the Galway [G]
charm.
