Galway Bay Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][Bm][Am][Em][D]
[G]If you ever go across
the seas [D]to Ireland
Then maybe at the closing
of your [G]day
You will sit and watch the moon
[E]rise over [Am]Claddagh
[D]And watch the sun go down
on Galway [G]Bay

[Verse 2]
Just to hear again the ripple of [Am]the
[D]trout stream
The women in the meadows mak[G]ing hay
And, to sit beside the [E]turf fire in the [A]cabin
And [D]watch the barefoot goosoons at their [G]play[Eb][Ab]
[Bbm][Eb][Bbm][Eb][Ab]
[Gb][F][Bbm][Ebsus4]

[Verse 3]
[Eb][Ab]
For the strangers came and tried
to [Eb]teach us their way
They [Bb]scorned us [Eb]just for being
[Ab]what we are
But, they might as well go
[F]chasing [Bbm]af ter moo[Bb]nbeams
Or [Ebsus4]light a pen[Eb]ny candle from a star[Ab]

[Verse 4]
And if there's going to be a life [Eb]here
after
And, somehow I am
sure there's [Ab]going to be
I will ask [F]my God to let me
make my [Bbm]heaven[Bb]
[Bbm]In that dear [Ebsus4]land across[Eb] the
[Ab]Irish Sea
[Fm][Ebm][Gb][Ab]
