Standard (EADGBE)

I took a stroll down the old long walk On the day-I-ay-I-ay

I met a little girl and we stopped to talk On a grand top day-I-ay

 And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

 'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue

 And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl

 Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

(Repeat):

We were halfway there when the rain came down On the day-I-ay-I-ay

And she took me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day-I-ay

And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl

And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

So, when I woke up I was all alone

 With a broken heart and a ticket home

(Repeat Chorus Chords):

And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

See I've traveled around, I've been over the world

I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl

And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do

If her hair was black and her eyes were blue

See I've traveled around, been all over the world

Boy, I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl.
