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

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

Verse 
C 
When I woke up I was all alone 
       Am     G           F      C 
With a broken heart and a ticket home 
                           F              C 
And I ask you now, tell me what would you do? 
       Am       G             F         C 
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
                                             F         C 
You see, I've traveled around, I've been all over this world 
         Am         G                F      C 
But I've never seen nothin' like the Galway girl
