Steve Earle – The Galway Girl (Guitar)

        D
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk

                G
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay

  D                        G          D
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk

     D         A     D
Of 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

        D
We were halfway there when the rain came down

                G
Of a day-I-ay-I-ay

        Bm       A         G        D
And she asked me up to her flat downtown

     D         A     D
Of 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
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
When I woke up I was all alone

     D               G
(melody only on this line)

       Bm     A           G      D
With a broken heart and a ticket home

 D      A      D
(melody only on this line)

      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
'Cause 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
