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

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

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

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

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

REPEAT CHORUS:

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

REPEAT CHORUS:
