[Intro 1]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
Well, I [C]took a stroll
on the old long walk
Of a day-I- ay-I- [F]ay
I met a little girl and we [F]stopped to [C]talk
Of a fine soft [G]day-I- [C]ay
And I [F]ask you, [C]friend, what's a [F]fella to [C]do?
'Cause her [Am]hair was [G]black
and her [F]eyes were [C]blue
And I [F]knew right [C]then
I'd be [F]takin' a [C]whirl
'Round the [Am]Salthill [G]Prom with a [F]Galway [C]girl

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
We were [C]halfway there
when the rain came down
Of a day-I- ay-I- [F]ay
She [Am]asked me [G]up to her [F]flat down[C]town
Of a fine soft [G]day-I- [C]ay
And I [F]ask you, [C]friend, what's a [F]fella to [C]do?
'Cause her [Am]hair was [G]black
and her [F]eyes were [C]blue
I [F]took her [C]hand
and I [F]gave her a [C]twirl
And I [Am]lost my [G]heart to a [F]Galway [C]girl

[Verse 3]
When [C]I woke up I was all a[F]lone
With a [Am]broken [G]heart and a [F]ticket [C]home[G][C]
And I [F]ask you [C]now,
tell me [F]what would you [C]do?
If her [Am]hair was [G]black
and her [F]eyes were [C]blue
'Cause I've [F]traveled a[C]round
I've been all [F]over this [C]world
Boys, I ain't [Am]never seen [G]nothin'
like a [F]Galway [C]girl
