[D]
I took a stroll on the old long walk of the [G] day.
I
[Dm] met a little [G] girl and we [D] stopped to talk and we'll find something.
[G] And [D] I asked her friend [G] what's a fellow [D] do.
I noticed her hair was black [G] and her [D] eyes were blue.
[G] And I knew [D] right then [G] I'd be [D] taking a whirl
around a salt hill [G] prom with a [D] Galway girl.
We [G] [D] [G]
[D]
were halfway there when the rain came down of the day.
[G]
[D] She asked me up [G] to her flat [D] downtown and we'll find [Em] something.
[D] [G] And I [D] asked her friend [G] what's a [D] fellow do.
[Bm] I noticed her hair was [G] black and [D] her eyes were blue.
[G] [D] I took her hand and [G] I gave her [D] a twirl.
Oh, [Bm] and I lost [D] my heart [G] to a [D] Galway girl.

[D] [A] [D] When I woke up I was all alone [G] with [Bm]
[D] a broken heart [G] I took it [D] home.
[G] And I ask [D] you now, [G] tell me what [D] would you do
if [Bm] her hair was [G] black and her [D] eyes were blue.
[G] Cause I've [D] traveled around, [G] I've been all [D] over this world.
Boy, [Bm] I [D] ain't never seen nothing like [G] a [D] Galway girl.
