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

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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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