I find this version a little easier to play, and still sounds pretty much spot on.
The instrumental parts of the song need careful timing, and notice there are slight
differencesbetween them, but play along with the recorded version and you'll have
it in no time
GALWAY GIRL
CAPO 2nd FRET
INTRO: C C
C C G F
Well I took a stroll, Down the old long walk, On the day-I-ay-I-ay
Am G F C Am G C
I met a little girl and I stopped to talk, On a fine soft day-I-ay
F C F C
And I ask you friend, What's a fella to do
Am G F C
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
F C F C
And I knew right then, I'd be takin' a whirl
Am G F C
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there, When the rain came down, On the day-I-ay-I-ay
Am G F C Am G C
And she asked me up to her flat down town, Of a fine soft day-I-ay
F C F C
And I ask you friend, What's a fella to do
Am G F C
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
F C F C
So I took her hand, And I gave her a twirl
Am G F C
Aahh, And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
INST: C C Am F C

Am G F Am G D C

When I woke up, I was all alone
Am G F C
With a broken heart and a ticket home
F C F C
And I ask you now, Tell me what would you do
Am G F C
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
F C F C
'Cause I've travelled around, I've been all over this world
Am G F C
Boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
