I took a stroll around the old long walk of a day, I, [G] I, I, I met a little girl, stopped
to talk of a fine soft day, I, and I asked a friend, what's a fella to do, her [G] hair's
black and her eyes [D] are blue, and I knew right then, I'd be taking a whirl, around the salted
prom with a Galway girl,
[Am] [E] [D]
we're half way there and the rain came down of a day, I, [G] I, [D] I, I
snipped to a flat downtown of a fine soft day, I, I asked a man, what's a fella to do, her hair's black and her eyes are blue, so I took her hand, and gave her a twirl, I lost [G] my heart to a [D] Galway girl, [E] when [D] [E]
[G] [D]
[E] [G]
[E]
[D] I woke up I was all alone, [G] with a
broken heart and a ticket home, and I asked him now, tell me what would you do, if her eyes were black and her hair was blue, cause I've [Dm] traveled around, I've been over this world, boys I ain't never seen nothing like a Galway girl,

well my name's John Lee Petalmore, same as my daddy and his daddy before, I hardly ever saw a granddaddy like him, [G] [D] only come to town about twice a year, five hundred pennies since the cop in line, everybody [A] knew he made moonshine, [G] not a
revolution man would have crammed out of bed, [D] headed up a hollow with everything [G] he had, for my time well I've been told, [E] never come back from copperhead road,
[D] now daddy run a whiskey in a bed like that, body and notch in the face of the lies, charging out the chair painted on the side, [G] [D] shatter coat of primer and the lips inside,
well him and my uncle told him in the end, [G] [D] I still remember that rumble in the sand, [G] and then the chair come around the middle of the night, [D] heard my mama cry that [E] something wasn't right, heading out of the house with a week of love, smell of whiskey burning out copperhead road,
yeah,

volunteered for the army on my birthday,
drop a white trash purse around here and away, done two tours of duty in Vietnam, I come home with a brand new plan, take a seat from in Mexico, plan out for hollow down copperhead road,
now the DEA got a chopper in the air, [D] wake up screaming like Michael [G] there,
love my finger to the child and you [E] know, better see you away from copperhead road,
[Dm]
