Well, I [A] took a stroll on the old long walk, on a day -I-[E]-ay-I-[D]-ay

And I [D] ask you, [A*] friend, what's a [D] fella to [A*] do?
'Cause her [F#m] hair was [E] black, and her [D] eyes were [A*] blue

'Round the [F#m] Salthill [E] Prom, with a [D] Galway [A*] girl

CHORUS 2:
And I [D] ask you, [A*] friend, what's a [D] fella to [A*] do?
'Cause her [F#m] hair was [E] black, and her [D] eyes were [A*] blue

CHORUS 3:
And I [D] ask you [A*] now, tell me [D] what would you [A*] do
If her [F#m] hair was [E] black, and her [D] eyes were [A*] blue
'Cause I've [D] travelled [A*] around, I've been all [D] over this [A*] world
Boys I [F#m] ain't never seen [E] nothin', like a [D] Galway [A*] girl
