[Verse 1]
[Bbm]Look how the light of the town
the lights of the town are shining now
Tonight I'll be dancing around
I'm off on the road to Galway now
[Bbm]Look how she's off on the town
She's off on a search for sailors though
There's fine fellas here to be found

[Chorus 1]
She's never been one to stay at home
[Gm]Home you'll go and it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the [F]morning
Give [Gm]up your dream of going away
For[Gm]get your [F]sailors in G[C]alway
[Gm]Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú [F]Mhearai
[Gm]Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar [Gm]tá do mh[F]argadh

[Verse 2]
[Bbm]Come now and follow me down
Down to the lights of [Ab]Galway where
There's [Bbm]fine sailors walking the town
And waiting to meet the [Eb]ladies there
[Bbm]Watch now he'll soon be along
He's finer than any [Eb]sailor so
Come [Bbm]on now pick up your spoons

[Chorus 2]
He's waiting to hear you play them WHO!
[Gm]Here today and she's gone tomorrow
And next she's going to Galway
[Gm]Jiggin' around and off to town
And won't be back until [C]morning
[Gm]Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú [F]Mhearai
[Gm]Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar tá do [F]mhargadh [C]déanta

[Verse 3]
[Bbm]Off with a spring in my step
The sailors are searching Galway for
A young lady such as myself
For reels and jigs and maybe more
[Bbm]Stay here and never you mind
The lights of the town are blinding you
The sailors they come and they go
But [Gb]listen to what's reminding you
[Ab]Handsome men surrounding you
[Bbm]Dancing a reel around [Cm]you

[Chorus 3]
[Gm]Home you'll go and it's it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the [F]morning
Give [Gm]up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors in [C]Galway
[Gm]Téir abhaile riú, téir abhaile riú
Téir abhaile riú Mhearai
Téir abhail gus fan sa bhaile
Mar [Gm]tá do mh[F]argadh d[C]éanta
