Galway Bay Chords by Tommy Fleming

_ If you ever _ go past the sea [E] to Ireland _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] Then maybe _ [E] at the closing of your [A] day
_ You _ _ _ will sit and [Em] watch [F#] the moon rise up
[Bm] _ _ [B] _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [E] And watch the sun go down and go away
[C#m] _
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _
Just [A] to hear again the ripple [E]
of the trout stream _ _ _
The [Bm] women _ in [E] the meadows making _ [A] hay
_ [E] _ _ _
_ [A] And to sit around [Bm] the turf [A#] fire in the [Bm] cabin _ _
[G#] _ _ _ _ [E] And watch the barefoot [D] _ [G#m] garsons at their [A] play
_ For [A] _ _ [E] _
[A] the breeze is blowing o'er the seas [E] to Ireland
A _
_ _ [Bm] _ perfume [E] by the heather as [A] they blow
_ [D] And _ _ the [A] women _ [G] in the [F#] uplands digging _ [Bm] parades _
They _ _ _ [E] speak a language that [D] the [C#m] strangers do not [A] know
_ _ [D] _ _ [F#] _
For [A] the strangers came and tried to [E] teach us their way
_ They _ _ _ [Bm] scorned us just for being what we [A] are _ _
_ _ And they might as well [F#m] go chasing _ [Bm] after _ moonbeams
_ _ [B] _ _ [G] _ [E] Or light a penny _ [D] candle [C#m] from [A] a star
_ _ _ [E] _
_ [D] _ And [A] if there's going to be life [E] _ hereafter
_ And _ [Bm] _ faith I [E] am so sure there's going [A] to be
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [D] _
I [A] will ask [C#] my [F#] God to let me _ make [Bm] my heaven
[B] _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] In that dear old land [D] across [C#m] the Irish _ [A] Sea
_ _ [E] I [D] _
_ [A] will ask [G] my God [C#] to let [F#] me _ _ [F#] make my _
[Bm] heaven
[F#m] _ In [Bm] _ _ _
_ _ [E] that dear old land [D] _ across [G#m] the _ Irish _ _ _ _ [G#m] _ [D] Sea
