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

We were halfway there when the rain came down
G
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
D
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
A D
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay
G D G D
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Bm A G D
Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
G D G D
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
Bm A G D
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
BRIDGE (2X)
D G
When I woke up I was all alone Of a day - I ay I -ay
D A D
With a broken heart and a ticket home Of a fine soft day -I - ay
G D G D
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
Bm A G D
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
G D G D
I've traveled around I've been all over this world
Bm A G D
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
