GALWAY GIRL 4/4 (Use capo on 2nd fret for Mundy version)
Well I (D)took a strool on the old long walk,
Of a day I-ay I-(G)ay
I (Bm)met a little (A)girl and we (G)stopped to (D)talk,
Of a fine soft (A)day I (D)ay-I ay

And I (G)ask you (D)friend
What’s a (G)fella to (D)do
Because her (Bm)hair was (A)black and her (G)eyes were (D)blue,
And I (G)knew right (D)then
I’d be (G)taking a (D)whirl
Round the (Bm)Salthill (A)prom with a (G)Galway (D)girl

D-D-D-D-G-G-G-D G-D-G-D-A-A-A-D

We were (D)half way there when the rain came down,
Of a day I ay I (G)ay
And she (Bm)took me (A)up to her (G)flat down(D)town,
On a fine soft (A)day I (D)ay-I ay,

And I (G)ask you (D)friend
What’s a (G)fella to (D)do
Because her (Bm)hair was (A)black and her (G)eyes were (D)blue,
So I (G)took her (D)hand
And I (G)gave her a (D)twirl
And then I (Bm)lost my (A)heart to a (G)Galway (D)girl

D-D-D-D-G-G-G-D G-D-G-D-A-A-A-D
G-G-G-G-D-D-A-A G-D-G-D-A-A-A-D D-D-D-D

When I (D)woke up I was all alone,
D-D-G-G
With a (Bm)broken (A)heart and a (G)ticket (D)home,
D-G-D-D

And I (G)ask you (D)friend
Oh (G)what would you to d(D)o,
If her (Bm)hair was (A)black and her (G)eyes were (D)blue,
See I've (G)travelled a(D)round
I've been (G)all over this (D)world, - boys
And (Bm)never seen (A)nothing like a (G)Galway (D)girl

D-D-D-D-G-G-G-D G-D-G-D-A-A-A-D
D-D-D-D-G-G-G-D G-D-G-D-A-A-A-D
G-G-G-G-D-D-A-A G-D-G-D-A-A-A-D

Lyrics Without The Chords

Well I took a strool on the old long walk,Of a day I-ay I-ayI met a little girl and we stoppet to talk, Of a fine soft day I ay-I ayAnd I ask you friend whats a fella to doCause her hair was black and her eyes were[D] blue, And I knew right then id be taking a whirlRound the Salthill prom with a Galway girl

[2]

We were half way there when the rain came down, Of a day I ay I ayAnd she asked me up to her flat downtown, On a fine soft day I ay-I ay, And I ask you friend whats a fella to do, Cause her hair was black and her eyes were blue, So I took her hand and I gave her a twirlAnd I lost my heart to a Galway girl

[3]

When I woke up I was all alone, With a broken heart and a ticket home, And I ask you now whats a fella to do, If her hair was black and her eyes were blue, I've travelled around I've been all over this world, But I aint never seen nothing like a Galway girl

That's it, you repeat it all three times over for the full song. Some versions have solos after each of the verses. The solos are roughly the same notes as the verse with a bit of ad-libbing. As these are ''Lead Notes'' they are not only for the tin whistle but are suitable for accordion and fiddle. The mandolin tab is below.
