The Galway Girl --- Steve Earle

 

Well I [D]took a stroll on the old long walk,

Of a day-eye-ay-eye-[G]ay.

And I [Bm]met a little [A]girl and we [G]stopped to [D]talk,

Of a fine soft [A]day-eye-[D]ay.

And I [G]ask you [D]friend, what’s a [G]fella to [D]do?

‘Cause her [Bm]hair was [A]black and her [G]eyes were [D]blue.

And I [G]knew right [D]then, I’d be [G]takin’ a [D]whirl,

‘Round the [Bm]Salthill [A]Prom with a [G]Galway [D]girl.

We were [D]halfway there when the rain came down,

Of a day-eye-ay-eye-[G]ay.

And she [Bm]asked me [A]up to her [G]flat down-[D]town.

Of a fine soft [A]day-eye-[D]ay.

And I [G]ask you [D]friend, what’s a [G]fella to [D]do?

‘Cause her [Bm]hair was [A]black and her [G]eyes were [D]blue.

So I [G]took her [D]hand, and I [G]gave her a [D]twirl.

And I [Bm]lost my [A]heart to a [G]Galway [D]girl.

 

D---G---DGDAD---A-D

G---D---AGDAD---A-D

 

When [D]I woke up I was all alone…

With a [Bm]broken [A]heart and a [G]ticket [D]home.

And I [G]ask you [D]now, tell me [G]what would you [D]do

If her [Bm]hair was [A]black and her [G]eyes were [D]blue?

I’ve [G]traveled a-[D]round, been all [G]over this [D]world.

Ain’t [Bm]never seen [A]nothin’ like a [G]Galway [D]girl.
