[Intro]
F C G
[Verse 1]
    CI have travelled all 'round Ireland
From GDublin to Mayo
From Donegal to Kerry, from Leitrim to SliCgo
CBut in all the miles I've travelled
All the rFoads that I've been down
There's one place I rCemember best
That's Gdear old Galway TCown
[Chorus]
If you Fever go to Galway
And just Cwalk down by the sea
I'm Fsure you will understand
Why it Cmeans so much to Gme
You'll Csee the smiling faces
Of the Fpeople all around
I'll not forget the fColks I met
In Gdear old Galway CTown
[Verse 2]
CWhen I go across to England
And mGeet the Irish there
There some from Cork and Wexford And others are from CClare
CEach one of them are friendly
But FI have always found
You could not meet more Cnicer folk
Than Gthose from Galway Ctown
[Chorus]
If you Fever go to Galway
And just Cwalk down by the sea
I'm Fsure you will understand
Why it Cmeans so much to Gme
You'll Csee the smiling faces
Of the Fpeople all around
I'll not forget the fColks I met
In Gdear old Galway CTown
[Chorus]
If yFou ever go to Galway
And just Cwalk down by the sea
I'm Fsure you will understand
Why it Cmeans so much to Gme
You'll Csee the smiling faces
Of the Fpeople all around
I'll not forget the fColks I met
In Gdear old Galway CTown
[Outro]
I'll not forget the folks I met
In Gdear old Galway CTown

[Intro]

F C G

[Verse 1]

I have travelled all 'round Ireland

From Dublin to Mayo

From Donegal to Kerry, from Leitrim to Sligo

But in all the miles I've travelled

All the roads that I've been down

There's one place I remember best

G C

That's dear old Galway Town

[Chorus]

If you ever go to Galway

And just walk down by the sea

I'm sure you will understand

C G

Why it means so much to me

You'll see the smiling faces

Of the people all around

I'll not forget the folks I met

G C

In dear old Galway Town

[Verse 2]

When I go across to England

And meet the Irish there

There some from Cork and Wexford And others are from Clare

Each one of them are friendly

But I have always found

You could not meet more nicer folk

G C

Than those from Galway town

[Chorus]

If you ever go to Galway

And just walk down by the sea

I'm sure you will understand

C G

Why it means so much to me

You'll see the smiling faces

Of the people all around

I'll not forget the folks I met

G C

In dear old Galway Town

[Chorus]

If you ever go to Galway

And just walk down by the sea

I'm sure you will understand

C G

Why it means so much to me

You'll see the smiling faces

Of the people all around

I'll not forget the folks I met

G C

In dear old Galway Town

[Outro]

I'll not forget the folks I met

G C

In dear old Galway Town
