The Galway Girl --- Steve Earle
Well I
[D]took
a stroll on the old long walk,
Of a day-eye-ay-eye-[G]ay.
And I
[Bm]met
a little [A]girl
and we [G]stopped
to [D]talk,
Of a fine soft
[A]day-eye-[D]ay.
And I
[G]ask
you [D]friend,
what’s a [G]fella
to [D]do?
‘Cause her
[Bm]hair
was [A]black
and her [G]eyes
were [D]blue.
And I
[G]knew
right [D]then,
I’d be [G]takin’
a [D]whirl,
‘Round the
[Bm]Salthill
[A]Prom
with a [G]Galway
[D]girl.
D---G---DGDAD---A-D
D---G---DGDAD---A-D
We were
[D]halfway
there when the rain came down,
Of a
day-eye-ay-eye-[G]ay.
And she
[Bm]asked
me [A]up
to her [G]flat
down-[D]town.
Of a fine
soft [A]day-eye-[D]ay.
And I
[G]ask
you [D]friend,
what’s a [G]fella
to [D]do?
‘Cause her
[Bm]hair
was [A]black
and her [G]eyes
were [D]blue.
So I
[G]took
her [D]hand,
and I [G]gave
her a [D]twirl.
And I
[Bm]lost
my [A]heart
to a [G]Galway
[D]girl.

When
[D]I
woke up I was all alone…
With a
[Bm]broken
[A]heart
and a [G]ticket
[D]home.
And I
[G]ask
you [D]now,
tell me [G]what
would you [D]do
If her
[Bm]hair
was [A]black
and her [G]eyes
were [D]blue?
I’ve
[G]traveled
a-[D]round,
been all [G]over
this [D]world.
Ain’t
[Bm]never
seen [A]nothin’
like a [G]Galway
[D]girl.
