Galway Bay Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
If [G]you [D]eve[G]r go across
the sea to Ire[D]land
Then maybe at the closing of [G]your day
You can sit and watch the
moon rise over [C]Kladdach
And [D]see the sun go down on Galway [G]Bay
Just to hear again the ripple
of the trout [D]stream
The women in the meadow making [G]hay
Just to sit beside the turf farm in the [C]cabin
And [D]watch the barefoot gossips
as they [G]play[D][G][C][D][G]
For the breezes blowin' o 'er
the sea [D]from Ireland
They're perfumed by the
heather as they [G]blow
And the women in the outline
diggin' [C]taddies
Speak a [D]language that the
strangers do not [G]know
Yet the strangers came and
tried to teach us [D]their ways
And scorned us just for being what [G]we are
But they might as well go
chasing after [C]moonbeams
Or [D]light a penny candle from
a [G]star[D][G]
[C][D][G]
Now, if there is gone to be a life here[D]after
And somehow I am sure there's God to [G]be
I will ask my God to let me make my [C]heaven
In [D]that dear land across the
Irish [G]Sea[D][G]
[C][D]
You
[G]
