[D]
{c:verse 1}
Well, I [D]took a stroll on the old long walk
On a [D]day-I-[A]ay-I-[G]ay
I [D]met a little girl and we stopped to talk
on a [D]grand soft [G]day-I-[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

{c:verse 2}
We were [D]halfway there when the rain came down
On a day-I-ay-I-[G]ay
And she [D]took me up to her flat downtown
Of a [D]grand soft [G]day-I-ay-I-[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

{c:verse 3}
When [D]I woke up I was all alone [G]
With a [D]broken heart and a ticket home [G] [D]
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 '[D]round,
I've been all [G]over this [D]world,
Boys I ain't [Bm]never seen [A]nothin' like a [G]Galway [D]girl
