Galway Girl chords
Start Jamming...
I took a stroll on the old long walk in the day
[G] I [B] met a little girl and we stopped [D] to talk and we'll find something
[G]
And I [D] asked her friend, [G] what's a fella [D] do?
Cause her hair is black and her eyes are blue
And I knew right then I'd be taking a whirl
[Bm] Around a salt-sail prom with a [D] Galway girl
We [G]
[D] [A] [D]
were halfway there when the rain came down on the day
[A] She asked me up to her flat [D] downtown and I'll find something
And I asked her friend, [G] what's a fella [D] do?
[Bm] Cause her hair is black and her [D] eyes are blue
I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
And [Bm] I lost my heart to a [D] Galway girl
[G]
[D] [A]
[G] [D] [A]
[A] [D]
And I woke up all alone with [G]
[A] a broken heart and a ticket [D] home
And I ask you now, [G] tell me what [D] would you do?
[A] Cause her hair is black and her [D] eyes are blue
Cause I've traveled around, I've been all over this world
Cause I [B] ain't never seen nothing like a [D] Galway girl
