Brier, Galway Shawl (2009)
^{Key: :[G#] (w: Traditional)}

VERSE 1:
At Oran-[G#]-more, in the County Galway
One pleasant [Fm] evening, in the month of [C#] May [D#]
I spied a [G#] damsel, she was fair and handsome
And her beauty [Fm] nearly took, [D#] my breath a-[G#]-way

CHORUS:
She wore no [G#] jewels, nor costly diamonds
No paint nor [Fm] powder, no none at [C#] all [D#]
But she wore a [G#] bonnet, with ribbons on it
And around her [Fm] shoulders, [D#] was the Galway [G#] shawl

VERSE 2:
She kept on [G#] walking, she kept on talking
'Till her fathers [Fm] cottage, came in to [C#] view [D#]
Said she: "Come [G#] in sir, and meet my father
And play to [Fm] please him, [D#] The Foggy [G#] Dew"

VERSE 3:
I played "The [G#] Black Bird", "The Stack of Barley"
"Old Rodney's [Fm] Glory", and "The Foggy [C#] Dew" [D#]
She sang each [G#] note, like an Irish linnet
Till tears came [Fm] in-to, [D#] her eyes of [G#] blue

REPEAT CHORUS:

VERSE 4:
'Twas early [G#] early, all in the morning
I took the [Fm] road for, old Done-[C#]-gal [D#]
She sighed and [G#] kissed me, and she said "Goodbye Sir"
But my heart re-[Fm]-mains with, [D#] the Galway [G#] shawl
