[Verse 1]
        D                                                    G
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk.  Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
  D                        G          D           D         A     D
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk.  Of a fine soft day-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

[solo]

[Verse 2]
        D                                                          G
We were halfway there when the rain came down.  Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
        Bm       A         G        D           D         A     D
And she asked me up to her flat downtown.  Of a fine soft day-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

[Verse 3]
     D                                  D               G
When I woke up I was all alone.    [melody only on this line]
       Bm     A           G      D          D      A      D
With a broken heart and a ticket home.    [melody only on this line]
      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
