CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
C G7 C G7 C G7 F G7 C
[Verse 1]
G F G
I've the face of a stranger, with a smile of a rover
Dm G
I take a glass at down Kinvara and a jug at Oughterard
F G
Down the great donkey roads, through the hills of Connemara
C Am G
To my dark Spanish handsome love, way down in Galway town
[Chorus]
C G C
Where Jimmy is me love, he's me pride, he's me darling
Dm7 C Dm G
Jimmy leaves me wander to the ends of the world
C G Am
Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope and sets me dreaming
F C Am G
And when the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle down
C
In Galway town
[Verse 2]
G F G
The spring brings the swallow, a fresh land of the rover
Dm G
Where the blushing summer roses shed their petals to the glen
F G
And the long breathless evenings where the loneliness is heaven
C Am G
Makes the dreaming come so easy on the road to Galway town
[Chorus]
C G C
Where Jimmy is me love, he's me pride, he's me darling
Dm7 C Dm G
Jimmy leaves me wander to the ends of the world
C G Am
Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope and sets me dreaming
F C Am G
And when the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle down
C
In Galway town
[Verse 3]
G F G
Curlew are calling, a shy fawn is prancing
Dm G
All the ferns on them bulbing by the thousand gentle eyes
F G
And the creatures of Éireann sing their own sweet songs of pleasure
C Am G
As the rover goes a-whistling down the road to Galway town
[Chorus]
C G C
Where Jimmy is me love, he's me pride, he's me darling
Dm7 C Dm G
Jimmy leaves me wander to the ends of the world
C G Am
Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope and sets me dreaming
F C Am G
And when the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle down
C

And when the leaves are turning, in his arms I'll settle down
