Galway Girl
Steve Earle

D
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
                G
On a day-I-ay-I-ay
  Bm           D           G          D
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk
               A      D
on a fine soft day-I-ay
      G        D                G        D
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
           Bm       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
           Bm       A           G      D
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

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

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