[Verse 1]
[Am]Look,
[Em]how [Am]the lights of[Em] the town,
[Am]the lights of the town are
shining now.
[F]Tonight, I'll be [Am]dan cing around,
[Em]I'm off on the road to Galwa[Am]y now.
Look, how she's [Em]off on the town,
[Am]she's off on the search for
sailor[Em]s though.
There's five [Am]fel l[Em]as
here to be found,
she's never been one to [Am]stay at home.
[F#m]Home you'll go and it's there
you'll stay
And you've work to do in the morning
Give up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors in [B]Galway
Ch [F#m]'er a while you'll do, ch
'er a while you'll do
Ch 'er a while you'll do [E]very[F#m]
[E]Ch [F#m]'er a while you'll go swans soaring
But for the while [E]you'll get [F#m]ch
[D]'er a paddle[Esus4]
[A]Come now [Am]and follow me down,
down to the lights of Galway
Where there's fine sailors
walking the town
And waiting to meet the [D]ladies there
[A]Watch [Am]now, he'll soon be along
He's finer than any sailor so
Come on now and pick up your spoons
He's waiting to hear you play [A]them
[F#m]Here today and she's gone tomorrow
And then she's going to go away
Jigging around and off to town
And won't be back until [B]morning
C [F#m]'ero al 'iru, c 'ero al 'iru
C 'ero al 'iru [E]veri
C [F#m]'ero al 'e gasfonso, al 'e martado

[C#m]Off wi[Am]th t[Em]he spring [Am]in my step,[Em]
the [Am]sailors are searching all [Em]before
A [Am]young lady such as myself
for reels and jigs and maybe more
Stay here and never you [Em]mind,
the [Am]lights of the town
are blinding you
The sailors, come and they go,
but [F]listen to what's reminding you
Hand[Em]some men surrounding you,
dan[Am]cing a reel around [Bm]you
[F#m]Home you go and it's there you'll stay
And you've work to do in the [E]morning
[F#m]Give up your dream of going away
Forget your sailors and [B]go away
