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

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

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

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

And I [A] ask you [E*] now, tell me [A] what would you [E*] do
If her [C#m] hair was [B] black, and her [A] eyes were [E*] blue

Boys I [C#m] ain't never seen [B] nothin', like a [A] Galway [E*] girl
