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.

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.
