Well, I [D] took a stroll on the old long walk, on a day -I-[A]-ay-I-[G]-ay

And I [G] ask you, [D*] friend, what's a [G] fella to [D*] do?
'Cause her [Bm] hair was [A] black, and her [G] eyes were [D*] blue

'Round the [Bm] Salthill [A] Prom, with a [G] Galway [D*] girl

CHORUS 2:
And I [G] ask you, [D*] friend, what's a [G] fella to [D*] do?
'Cause her [Bm] hair was [A] black, and her [G] eyes were [D*] blue

CHORUS 3:
And I [G] ask you [D*] now, tell me [G] what would you [D*] do
If her [Bm] hair was [A] black, and her [G] eyes were [D*] blue

Boys I [Bm] ain't never seen [A] nothin', like a [G] Galway [D*] girl
