Galway Shawl- *LH* [Verse 1] G Bm In Oran--more in the County Gal--way, Em Am C One pleasant eve--ning in the month of May; G Bm I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome, Em C D G Her beauty fairly took my breath a--way. [Chorus] G Bm She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds, Em Am C No paint no powder, no none at all; G Bm She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it, Em C D G And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl. G Bm We kept on walking, she kept on talking, Em Am C Till her father's cottage came into view; G Bm She said Come in, sir, and meet my father, Em C D G And play to please him The Foggy Dew. G Bm She sat me down beside the fire, Em Am C I could see her father, he was six feet tall; G Bm And soon her mother had the kettle singing, Em C D G And all I could think of was the Galway shawl. [Chorus] G Bm She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds, Em Am C No paint no powder, no none at all; G Bm She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it, Em C D G And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl. G Bm I played The Blackbird and The Stack Of Barley, Em Am C Rodney's Glory, and The Foggy Dew; G Bm She sang each note like an Irish linnet, Em C D G And the tears they flowed in her eyes of blue. G Bm 'Twas early, early, all in the morning, Em Am C I hit the road for old Donegal; G Bm She said Good--bye, sir, she cried and kissed me, Em C D G And my heart re--mained with the Galway shawl. [Chorus] G Bm She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds, Em Am C No paint no powder, no none at all; G Bm She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it, Em C D G And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl. (SLOWING) Em C D G And 'round her shoulder was a Galway shawl.
