Galway Bay Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]If [Bbdim]you ever [Am]go a[Dsus4]cross[G]
the [Bbdim]sea to Ir[Am]eland[D]
[Dsus4]If it's only at the
[D]closing of your [G]days
[C]Just to [G]see again the [Esus4]moon
[E]rise over [Asus4]Claddagh
[A]And to [Dsus4]watch the[C] sun[Dsus4] go
[D]down on Galway [G]Bay[C]
To [G]see again the ripple on
[Bbdim]the trout str[Am]eams[D]
The wo[Dsus4]men in the
meadows [D]making [G]hay
[C]Or [Dsus4]to sit be[G]side a turf f[E]ire in a cabin[Asus4]
[A]And to wat[Dsus4]ch the barefoot gossom[D]s
at their [G]play[C][G]
[Ebsus4]All the breeze[Ab]s blown
across [Bb]the sea from [Eb]Ireland
Are [Ebsus4]perfumed with the
[Eb]heather as they [Ab]blow
[Db]And [Ebsus4]the women in th[Ab]e
[F]uplands dig in [Bbsus4]gravy
[Bb]Speak a [Eb]lan [Ebsus4]guage that the
[Eb]strangers do not [Ab]know.[Ebsus4]
The [Ab]strangers came and tried
to [Bb]teach us [Bbdim]their way[Eb].
They scorned [Ebsus4]us just for
[Eb]being what we [Ab]are.
[Ebsus4]Sure they might [Ab]as well go
[F]chasing after [Bbsus4]moonbeams
[Bb]Or to ligh[Ebsus4]t a penny candle fr[Eb]om
a [Ab]star[Bbm][Ebsus4][Ab][G#aug]
[D]An [E]d if [A]there's going
to be [B]a life here[E]after
And some[Esus4]how I'm
[E]sure there's going [A]to be
I will ask my God to [F#]let me make my [Bm]heaven
In [Esus4]that dear land acro[E]ss
the Ir[Bm]ish [E]Sea.

[Outro 1]
