Galway Girl ** - Steve Earle
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
C
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
G C G
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
G D G
Of a fine soft day-i-ay
C G C G
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Em D C G
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
C G C G
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
Em D C G
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

[Verse 2]
G
We were halfway there when the rain came down
C
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay
Em D C G
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
G D G
Of a fine soft day-i-ay
C G C G
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Em D C G
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue
C G C G
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl
Em D C G
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

G
When I woke up I was all alone
G C
(melody only on this line)
Em D C G
With a broken heart and a ticket home
G D G
(melody only on this line)
C G C G
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do
Em D C G
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
C G C G
'Cause I've traveled around, I've been all over this world
Em D C G
Boys, I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
