This is my take on a beautiful song by Declan O'Rourke!
On the lines with A, hold the 3rd fret of the 6th string down with your pinky when you 
get to "Galilean Boy"
GaliAleo fell in love as a Galilean Boy
And he Bmwondered what in heavens who iE7nvented such a joy
But the Aquestion got the better of his scientific mind -
And to his Bmblind and dying days, he looked up Esushigh
and often E7sighed and sometimes Dmcried
Who put the rainbow in the Asky
Who lights the stars at Bmnight
Who dreamed up someone so diDvine
E7Someone like you and made them miAne!
DmLove can make you C#ask some funny Fmquestions now and then
But just remBmember the alternative
For EsusI remember E7when
I was Alonely and unhappy and my lips were cold as ice
But you Bmkissed me and good heavens now I'm E7here in Paradise
So if Aever I'm not kissing you or looking in your eye
I wont be Bmblind and I wont cry
I'll look up Esushigh and gladly E7sigh and thank the Dmguy
Who put the rainbow in the Asky
Who lights the stars at Bmnight
Who dreamed up someone so diDvine
Someone like you and made them Amine!

This is my take on a beautiful song by Declan O'Rourke!

On the lines with A, hold the 3rd fret of the 6th string down with your pinky when you

get to "Galilean Boy"

Galileo fell in love as a Galilean Boy

Bm E7

And he wondered what in heavens who invented such a joy

But the question got the better of his scientific mind -

Bm Esus

And to his blind and dying days, he looked up high

E7 Dm

and often sighed and sometimes cried

Who put the rainbow in the sky

Who lights the stars at night

Who dreamed up someone so divine

E7 A

Someone like you and made them mine!

Dm C# Fm

Love can make you ask some funny questions now and then

But just remember the alternative

Esus E7

For I remember when

I was lonely and unhappy and my lips were cold as ice

Bm E7

But you kissed me and good heavens now I'm here in Paradise

So if ever I'm not kissing you or looking in your eye

I wont be blind and I wont cry

Esus E7 Dm

I'll look up high and gladly sigh and thank the guy

Who put the rainbow in the sky

Who lights the stars at night

Who dreamed up someone so divine

Someone like you and made them mine!
