INTRO: [Eb] [Eb]

VERSE 1:
Well, I [Eb] took a stroll on the old long walk, on a day -I-[Bb]-ay-I-[Ab]-ay
I [Eb] met a little [Bb] girl and we [Ab] stopped to [Eb] talk, on a fine soft [Ab] day-I-[Eb]-ay

CHORUS:
And I [Ab] ask you, [Eb*] friend, what's a [Ab] fella to [Eb*] do?
'Cause her [Cm] hair was [Bb] black, and her [Ab] eyes were [Eb*] blue
And I [Ab] knew right [Eb*] then, I'd be [Ab] takin' a [Eb*] whirl
'Round the [Cm] Salthill [Bb] Prom, with a [Ab] Galway [Eb*] girl

[Eb] We were halfway there when the rain came down, on a day -I-[Bb]-ay-I-[Ab]-ay
And she [Eb] asked me [Bb] up to her [Ab] flat down [Eb] town, on a fine soft [Ab] day-I-[Eb]-ay

CHORUS 2:
And I [Ab] ask you, [Eb*] friend, what's a [Ab] fella to [Eb*] do?
'Cause her [Cm] hair was [Bb] black, and her [Ab] eyes were [Eb*] blue
So I [Ab] took her [Eb*] hand, and I [Ab] gave her a [Eb*] twirl
And I [Cm] lost my [Bb] heart, to a [Ab] Galway [Eb*] girl

With a [Eb] broken [Bb] heart and a [Ab] ticket [Eb] home

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

REPEAT INSTRUMENTAL 1: [x3] // [Eb open]
