Steve Earle - Galway Girl Chords

Steve Earle

VERSE 1
        D
Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk 
                 G
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay 
  D                        G          D
I met a little girl and we stopped to talk 
     D         A     D
Of 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
And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl 
           Bm       A           G      D
'Round the Salthill Prom with a Galway girl

VERSE 2
        D
We were halfway there when the rain came down 
                 G
Of a day -I-ay-I-ay
        Bm       A         G        D
And she asked me up to her flat downtown 
     D         A     D
Of 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

     D 
When I woke up I was all alone 
     D               G
[melody only on this line]
       Bm     A           G      D        
With a broken heart and a ticket home 
 D      A      D
[melody only on this line]
      G       D            G              D
And I ask you now, 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've traveled around I've been all over this world
             Bm         A              G      D 
Boys I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway girl
