[G] It's far away [C] I [G] am today from [C] scenes I [G] roam the boy.
[D] And long [G] [C] I know I first saw [D] here the noise.
But time nor tide [G] nor [C] waters wide could wean my [D] heart away.
[G] Forever true [C] it [G] flies to you my [C] own dear [G] Galway Bay.
O'er grey and bleak [C] by [G] shores and creek the [C] fog that [G] rocks about.
[D] But sweet and green [G] the [C] grass between us grows on [D] Irish ground.
Though friendships fall [G] [C]
and a love that [D] lives always.
[G] Bless every home [C] beside [G] your home my own dear Galway Bay.

[G] A day with blood [C] and [G] hopeful mood and a [C] heart of fire [G] unsworn.
[D] For all the goals [G] the world [C] might call I'd never leave [D] your shore.
I'd be content with [G] what Mother [C] God sent with neighbours old [D] and grey.
And [G] I'd lay my bones [C] near [G] churchyard stones beside [C] you [G] Galway Bay.
The blessings of [C] a poor [G] old man be [C] with you night [G] and day.
[D] The blessings [G] of [C] a lonely man whose heart will soon [D] be grey.
It's all of heaven [G] I [C] ask of God upon my [D] dying day.
[G] My soul to soar [C] forever [G]
[C] above you [G] Galway Bay.
