Galway Girl                          by Steve Earle

 

D                                             

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

                 D(Bm)          G                    A               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

                    D(Bm)     G                 A            D      

'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl     

 

     D--- /--- G--- D--    G- D- A- D-          A--- D---

                                     

 

D           

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

                  D(Bm)        G                    A               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

        D(Bm)        G              A        D                  

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

 

 

D                                           

When I woke up I was all alone

         D                                        A         D

AWith a broken heart and a ticket home

         G               D                   G                       D    

And I ask you now, tell me what would you do

         D(Bm)         G                   A               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

              D(Bm)                   G                 A            D  

Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
