My own dear Galway Bay [G] - Dolores Keane

[Intro]  G  - D  -  C -  D  /  G  - D  -  C  -  D

[V1]
     G          C  G
It's far away I am today
     G        C        G
from scenes I roamed a boy.
    D        G          C
And long ago the hour, I know
                 D 
 I first saw Illinois
    D        G        C
But time nor tide nor waters wide
                      D 
 could wean my heart away
   G            C        G
Forever true it flies to you
     G        C      G
 	my own dear Galway Bay

[V2]
By shore and creek both grey and bleak
The rugged rocks abound
But sweeter green the grass between
Than grows on Irish ground
So friendhip fond all else beyond
And love to live always
Bless each dear home beside your foam
My own dear Galway Bay

[Break]  G  - D  -  C -  D  /  G  - D  -  C  -  D

[V3] 
Had I youth's blood and hopeful mood
And the heart of fire once more
For all the gold and wealth I hold
I'd never leave your shore
I'd be content with whatever God sent
With neighbours old and grey
And I'd lay my bones 'neath churchyard stones
Beside you Galway Bay

[Break]  G  - D  -  C -  D  /  G  - D  -  C  -  D
		              G  -  C  -  G  /  G  -  C  -  G

[V4]
The blessings of a poor old man
Be with you night and day
The blessings of a poor old man
Whose heart will soon be clay
'Tis all the heaven I ask of God
Upon my dying day
My soul to soar forever more
Above you, Galway Bay
