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

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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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