Brier, Galway Shawl (2009)
Key: :[E] (w: Traditional)
VERSE 1:
At Oran-
[E]-more, in the County Galway
One pleasant
[C#m] evening, in the month of
[A] May
[B]
I spied a
[E] damsel, she was fair and handsome
And her beauty
[C#m] nearly took,
[B] my breath a-
[E]-way
CHORUS:
She wore no
[E] jewels, nor costly diamonds
No paint nor
[C#m] powder, no none at
[A] all
[B]
But she wore a
[E] bonnet, with ribbons on it
And around her
[C#m] shoulders,
[B] was the Galway
[E] shawl
VERSE 2:
She kept on
[E] walking, she kept on talking
'Till her fathers
[C#m] cottage, came in to
[A] view
[B]
Said she: "Come
[E] in sir, and meet my father
And play to
[C#m] please him,
[B] The Foggy
[E] Dew"
VERSE 3:
I played "The
[E] Black Bird", "The Stack of Barley"
"Old Rodney's
[C#m] Glory", and "The Foggy
[A] Dew"
[B]
She sang each
[E] note, like an Irish linnet
Till tears came
[C#m] in-to,
[B] her eyes of
[E] blue
