[Verse 1]
G
Well, I took a stroll down the old Long Walk
C
On the day -I-ay-I-ay
G C
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
Em D G
On a grand soft day -I-ay-I-ay
[Chorus]
G G
And I ask you, friends, what's a fella to do
C Em D G
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
G G
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
C Em D G
Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G
We were halfway there when the rain came down
C
On the day -I-ay-I-ay
G C
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
Em D G
On a grand soft day -I-ay-I-ay
[Chorus]
G G
And I ask you, friends, what's a fella to do
C Em D G
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
G G
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
C Em D G
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl
[Instrumental]
G C G C Em D G D G
C G D C Em D G D G
[Bridge]
G C
When I woke up I was all alone
C Em D G
With a broken heart and a ticket home
[Chorus]
G G
And I ask you friends, what would you do
C Em D G
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
G G
See I've travelled around, I've been all over this world
C Em D G
Boys, but I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
