Intro. [E] [A] [G] [A]
[D]I've roamed this wide world [F#m]over And I've [G]sailed the seven
[D]seas
I've [E]got no chains a[A]round me I just [G]wander [A]where I [D]please
I [D]met a girl that I [F#m]can't forget
She [G]just won't leave my [D]mind
And [E]where she lives or [A]where she's gone I [G]guess I'll [A]never [D]find
She [A]wore a silver locket With a [D]picture of her home
Just a [E]ovely little cottage On a [A]hillside all
alone
I [D]wondered where this [F#m]cottage was But [G]all [A]she'd let me [D]know
That it's [E]somewhere on the [A]borderline
of [G]Galway and Ma[D]yo
[E] [A] [G] [A] [D]
[D]It's a long, long way from [F#m]Denver To the [G]west of Ire[D]land
But
it [E]justifies my [A]journey just to [G]see that [A]lovely [D]land
[D]From the Colorado [F#m]mountains and their [G]singin'
whip-poor-[D]wills
To the [E]green, green grass of [A]Ireland and the [G]lovely [A]mud-turf[D] hills
And If [A]I ever find her How [D]happy I would be
For the [E]vision of her beauty that would [A]haunts my memory
My
[D]heart takes me a [F#m]searchin' To a [G]land I do not [D]know
For that c[E]ottage on the [A]borderline of [G]Galway
[F#m]and Ma[D]yo
To the [E]cottage on the [B]borderline of [G]Galway [A]and Ma[D]yo
