Galway Girl [C]

[Intro] [C] [C]
[C] Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
On a [C] day-I-[G]ay-I-[F]ay
[C] I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
on a [C] grand-soft [F]day-I-[C]-ay
And I [F] ask you, [C] friend, what's a [F] fella to [C] do
'Cause her [Am] hair was [G] black and her [F] eyes were [C] blue
And I [F] knew right [C] then, I'd be [F] takin' a [C] whirl
'Round the [Am] Salthill [G] Prom with a [F] Galway [C] girl

[C] We were halfway there when the rain came down
On a [C] day-I-[G]-ay-I-[F]ay
And she [C]asked me up to her flat downtown on a [C] grand-soft [F] day-I-[C]-ay
And I [F] ask you, [C] friend, what's a [F] fella to [C] do
'Cause her [Am] hair was [G] black and her [F] eyes were [C] blue
So I [F] took her [C] hand, and I [F] give her a [C] twirl
And I [Am] lost my [G] heart to a [F] Galway [C] girl

[C] When I woke up I was all alone... On a day-I-ay-I-[F]ay
With a [C] broken heart and a ticket home, on a grand-soft [G] day-I [C]-ay
And I [F] ask you [C] now, tell me [F] what would you [C] do
If her [Am] hair was [G] black and her [F] eyes were [C] blue
I've [F] travelled a-[C]-round I've been [F] all over this [C] world ... Boys
I ain't [Am] seen [G] nothin' like a [F] Galway [C] girl
