Galway Girl

{key:A}

[A]Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk of a day -I-ay-I-[D]ay
[F#m]I met a little [E]girl and we [D]stopped to [A]talk, on a fine soft [E]day -I-[A]ay

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

And I [D]knew right [A]then, I’d be [D]takin’ a [A]whirl [A]
’Round the [F#m]Salthill [E]Prom with a [D]Galway [A]girl [A]

[A]We were halfway there when the rain came down of a day -I-ay-I-[D]ay
She [F#m]asked me [E]up to her [D]flat down[A]town on a fine soft d[E]ay -I-[A]ay

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

[A]So I [D]took her [A]hand and I [D]gave her a [A]twirl
And I [F#m]lost my [E]heart to a [D]Galway [A]girl.

[A]When I woke up I was all alone (of a day i [D]ay)
With a [F#m]broken [E]heart and a [D]ticket [A]home (of a fine soft [E] day i [A]ay)

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

[A]See I’ve [D]travelled a [A]round, 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.
