D                                                        G 
I took a stroll down the old long walk On the day-I-ay-I-ay 
D                          C                    A         G     D 
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk On a grand top day-I-ay 
          G    D                   G     D 
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 
           C        A             G         D 
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
           G     D                  G D 
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 
         C        A           G      D 
Down the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl 

(Repeat): 
We were halfway there when the rain came down On the day-I-ay-I-ay 
And she took me up to her flat downtown Of a fine soft day-I-ay 
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
So I took her hand and I gave her a twirl 
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl 

D                                  G 
So, when I woke up I was all alone 
       C      A           G      D 
With a broken heart and a ticket home 

(Repeat Chorus Chords): 
And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do 
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
See I've traveled around, I've been over the world 
I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl 

And I ask you friend, what's a fella to do 
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
See I've traveled around, been all over the world 
Boy, I've never seen nothin' like a Galway girl.
