[Verse 1]
G C G
It's far away I am today
D G
from scenes I roamed a boy
D G C
And long ago the hour, I know
D
I first saw Illinois
G C
But time nor tide nor waters wide
D
could wean my heart away
G C G
Forever true it flies to you
D G
my own dear Galway Bay
[Verse 2]
G C G
Both grey and bleak, by shore and creek
D G
the rugged rocks abound
D G C
But sweet and green the grass between
D
that grows on Irish ground
G C
So friendship fond all else beyond
D
and love to live always
G C G
Bless each dear home beside your foam
D G
my own dear Galway Bay
[Verse 3]
G C G
My chosen bride is by my side
D G
her brown hair silvery-grey
D G C
Our daughter oh so like her grows
D
as April dawn to day
G C
Our only boy, his mothers joy
C D
and his father's pride so gay
G C G
With gifts like these I'd live at ease
D G
Beside you Galway Bay
[Verse 4]
G C G
Had I youth's blood and hopeful mood
D G
and heart of fire once more
D G C
For all the gold the earth could hold
D
I'd never leave your shore
G C
I'd live content whatever God sent
D
midst neighbors old and grey
G C G
And lay my bones 'neath churchyard stones
D G
beside you Galway Bay
[Verse 5]
G C G
The blessings of a poor old man
D G
be with you night and day
D G C
The blessings of a lonely man
D
whose heart will soon be clay
G C
'Tis all the heaven I ask of God
D
upon my dying day
G C G
My soul to soar forever more
D G
above you, Galway Bay
G C G
It's far away I am today
D G
from scenes I roamed a boy
D G C
And long ago the hour, I know
