Galway Bay Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]Oh,[Em] it's[G][A][D]
maybe someday
I'll go back to [A]Ireland
If only at the closing of my [D]day
For to sit and watch the moon
rise over [G]Claddagh
Or [A]watch the sun go down on Galway [D]Bay
For to see again the ripple
of the [A]Trout Stream
The women in the meadows making [D]hay
Or to sit beside a tar fire in a [G]cabin
And [A]watch the barefoot
garçons at their [D]play
Oh, the winds that blow
across the sea from [A]Ireland
Or a perfume by the heather as they [D]blow
And the women in the uplands
diggin' [G]prairies
Speak a [A]language that
the strangers do not [D]know
Oh, the strangers came
and tried to teach us [A]their ways
They scorned us just for
being what [D]we are
Sure they might as well go
chasing after [G]moonbeams
Or [A]light a penny candle from
the [D]star[A][D][G][A]
[D]
And if there's going to
be a life here[A]after
And somehow I'm sure there's going to [D]be
I will ask my God to let me make my [G]heaven
In [A]that dear land across
the Irish [D]Sea[G][A][D]
You
