The Galway Rover Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
I've [C]a face for the stranger
with the smile of the rover
I take a glass of talc and barra
and a jug of toot -er -ar
Down the grey donkey roads
to the hills of Connemara
To my dark Spanish [F]lady love
in [C]fair Galway town
Where [F]Jenny is me love,
she's me [C]pride and she's me [F]darlin'
Jenny [Bb]leads me wan[F]dering
to the [Eb]ends of the [C]world
Ah, [F]Jenny brings me love,
gives me [C]hope
and sets me [F]dreaming
And [Bb]when the leaves are [F]turning
in her [Dm]arm s
I'll settle [Gm]down [C]In Galway [F]Town
Spring [C]brings the swallow,
[Bb]fresh lands the [C]rover
Where the blushing summer roses
share their petals through the glen
And the long breathless evenings
when the [Bb]loneliness is [C]heaven
Makes the dreamin' come so [F]easy
on the [G]road to Galway [C]Town
Where [F]Jenny is me love,
she's me [C]pride and she's
me [F]darlin'
[Bb]Jenny leads me [F]wonder
to the [Eb]ends of the [C]world
A [F]jetty brings me luck,
gives me [C]hope and sets me [F]dreamin'
And [Bb]when the leaves are [F]turnin'
in their [Dm]herbs
I'll settle [Gm]down [C]in Galway [F]Town
The [C]curlew is callin' her
[Bb]shy false [C]grandson
The ferns and the hedges
hide a [Bb]thousand gentle e[C]yes
All the creatures of Aaron
sing their [Bb]own sweet songs [C]of pleasure
As the rover goes a [F]-whistling
down the [G]road to Galway [C]Town
For [F]Jenny is me love,
she's me [C]pride and she's me [F]darling
Jenny [Bb]leads me wan[F]dering
to the [Eb]ends of the [C]world
Ah, [F]Jenny brings me love,
gives me [C]hope and sets me [F]dreaming
And [Bb]when the leaves are [F]turning
in their [Dm]arm s
I'll settle [Gm]down [C]In Galway [F]Town
Where she's me love,
she's me [C]pride and she's me [F]darling
Jenny [Bb]leaves me [F]wondered
to the [Eb]ends of the [C]world
Jenny [F]brings me love,
gives me [C]hope
and sets me [F]dreaming
And [Bb]when the leaves are [F]turning
in their [Dm]arm s
I'll settle [Gm]down [C]In Galway [F]Town
