Galway Shawl * - Artist In Oran-[C]-more in the County Gal-[Em]-way, One pleasant even-[Am]-ing in the [Dm] month of [F] May; I spied a [C] damsel, she was young and [Em] handsome, Her beauty [Am] fairly [F] took my [G] breath [C] away. [Chorus] |[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds, |No paint no [Am] powder, no [Dm] none at [F] all; |She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it, |And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl. We kept on [C] walking, she kept on [Em] talking Till her father's [Am] cottage came [Dm] into [F] view She said Come [C] in, sir, and meet my [Em] father, And play to [Am] please him [F] The [G] Foggy [C] Dew. She sat me [C] down beside the [Em] fire, I could see her [Am] father, he was [Dm] six feet [F] tall; And soon her [C] mother had the kettle [Em] singing, All I could [Am] think of [F] was the[G] Galway [C] shawl. [Chorus] |[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds, |No paint no [Am] powder, no [Dm] none at [F] all; |She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it, |And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl. I played the [C] Blackbird and The Stack Of [Em] Barley, Rodney's [Am] Glory, and the [Dm] Foggy [F] Dew; She sang each [C] note like an Irish [Em] linnet, And the tears they [Am] flowed [F] in her [G] eyes of [C] blue. 'Twas early [C] early, all in the [Em] morning I hit the [Am] road for [Dm] old Done-[F]-gal She said Good-[C]-bye, sir, she cried and kissed [Em] me, And my heart re-[Am]-mained with [F] the [G] Galway [C] shawl. [Chorus] |[NC] She wore no [C] jewels, no costly [Em] diamonds, |No paint no [Am] powder, no [Dm] none at [F] all; |She wore a [C] bonnet with ribbons on [Em] it, |And 'round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C] shawl. [Outro, slowing down] And round her [Am] shoulder [F] was a [G] Galway [C]
