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

D 
We were halfway there when the rain came down 
                 G 
On a day -I-ay-I-ay  
        D 
And she asked me up to her flat downtown  
     D          G          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                    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                G      D 
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

D                                          G 
When I woke up I was all alone
         D                              G  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
'Cause I've traveled around. I've been all over this world
              Bm                       G      D 
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
