[Verse 1]
C          F          C           F
In Oranmore in the County Galway,

           Am               C       F     G
One pleasant evening in the month of May,

C          F                   C           F
I spied a damsel, she was young and handsome

           Am       G             C   G
Her beauty fairly took my breath away
[Verse 2]
  C          F        C      F
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,

    Am               C             F     G
'Till her father's cottage came into view 

  C          F              C         F
Says she: 'Come in, sir, and meet my father,

        Am      G               C         G
And play to please him " The Foggy Dew "
[Chorus]
  C          F        C      F
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,

      Am             C            F  G
No paint or powder, no, none at all 

     C          F             C       F
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it

       Am               G              C  G
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
[Verse 3]
          C          F                     C      F
I played "The Blackbird" and "The Stack of Barley",

      Am           C             F     G
" Rodney's Glory" and "The Foggy Dew",

       C          F        C      F
She sang each note like an Irish linnet 

           Am               G            C  G
While the tears flowed from her eyes so blue 
[Chorus]
  C          F        C      F
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,

    Am               C              F  G
No paint or powder, no, none at all 

  C          F        C      F
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it

       Am               G              C  G
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
INSTUMENTAL VERSE [Verse 4]
 C          F        C      F
'Twas early, early, all in the morning,

  Am           C             F     G
When I hit the road for old Donegal 

       C          F        C      F
She said 'Goodby, sir,'she cried and kissed me

         Am               C            F  G
And my heart remains with the Galway shawl
[Chorus]
  C          F        C      F
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,

    Am               C              F  G
No paint or powder, no, none at all 

  C          F        C      F
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it

       Am               C              F  G
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
[Chorus]
  C          F        C      F
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds,

    Am               C              F  G
No paint or powder, no, none at all 

  C          F        C      F
But she wore a bonnet with a ribbon on it

       Am               G              C  G
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl

       Am               G             C   G
And round her shoulders was a Galway Shawl
