Galway Girl ♪♫ Mumford and Sons ♫♪ song by-Steve Earle
[Verse 1]
D
Well, I took a walk round the old ol’ block
G
T’day I-ay-I-ay
D
I met a little girl and we started to talk
That’s some day-i-ay
G D G D
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Bm A G D
When her hair was black and her eyes were blue
G D G D
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl
Bm A G D
On the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl
D GD GDAD AD

[Verse 2]
D
We were halfway there when the rain came down
G
On a day-I-ay-I-ay
Bm A G D
And she asked me up to her flat downtown
D A D
On a fine soft day-I-ay
G D G D
And I ask you, friend, what's a fella to do
Bm A 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
Bm A G D
And I lost my heart to a Galway girl

When I woke up I was all alone
G
Ay-I-ay-I-ay
Bm A G D A D
With a broken heart and a ticket home
G D G D
And I ask you fair, tell me what would you do
Bm A G D
If her hair was black and her eyes were blue
G D G D
I been traveln’ around, I' been all over the world
Bm A G D
But I lost my heart to a Galway girl
