Tis far away [D] I am [F#m] today from [D] scenes I [A] roamed by, _
[E] And long ago [A] _ [D] I know I [Bm] first saw _ [E] Illinois, _ But time there [A] tied their [D] waters white,
[Bm] And the breeze could wean my [E] heart away.
[A] Far ever true [D] it [F#m] flies till my [D] own dear [A] Galway Bay.
O'er grey and bleak [D] by [F#m] shores and creek, The [D] rugged [G#] [A] rocks abound, _
[E] But sweet and green [A] the grass [D] between [Bm] As grows on [E] Irish ground.
Soft friendships, _ [A] fond old [D] welds, The [Bm] unbred love that [E] lives always,
[A] Bless each poor home [D] beside [A] your foe, [F#m] My own [D] dear [A] Galway Bay. _ _

[A] Had I youth's blood [D] and hopeful [F#m] news, And a heart [D] of fire [A] once more,
[E] For all the [A] gold my world [D] might hold, [Bm] I'd never leave [E] your shore. _
I'd be content with [A] whatever [D] God sent, [Bm] With neighbors old [E] and grey,
[A] And lay my bones [D] near [F#m] churchyard stones, Beside [D] you [A] Galway Bay. _
The blessings of [D] a poor [A] old man [F#m] be with [D] you night [A] and day, _
[E] The blessings of [A] _ [D] only man [Bm] whose heart will soon [E] be clay. _
It's all a pebble and [A] ask [D] of God [Bm] upon my [E] dying day,
My [A] soul to soar [D] far ever [A] more [F#m] above [D] you [A] Galway Bay. _ _ _
