The Galway Girl 
Steve Earle

D   D G   D   D G D G D                                    
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk 
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk 
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay 
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 

D A G G D   D G D G D   D A G G D 
'Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue 
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

We were halfway there when the rain came down 
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 
And she asked me up to her flat downtown 
Of a fine soft day -I-ay-I-ay 

      G          D               G       D        
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do 

            A        G             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 

       A       G          G      D                
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

Verse 3

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 

        A         G           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 

              A          G              G      D   
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
