The Galway Shawl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]In [A]Oranmore,
[D]in the[A] County Gal[D]way[A][D]
One [A]pleasant [D]evening in the month of [G]May
I spied a dam[D]sel,
she was [A]young and [D]handsome
Her [A]beau[D] ty fairly to[A]ok
my breath away
[D][A][D]

[Verse 2]
She [A]wore no [D]jewels,
nor costly [A]diamonds[D]
No paint, no powder, no, none at [G]all
She wore a [D]bonnet with [A]a ribbon [D]on it
And 'round her shoulders
[Em]was [A]a Galway Shawl
[D]

[Verse 3]
We [A]kept on [D]walking,
she [A]kept on [D]talking
'Til her father's cottage,
it came into [G]view
Says she, "Come [D]in, sir,
and [A]meet my [D]father
And for to please him,
[Em]play[A] The Foggy Dew"
[D]

[Verse 4]
I [A]played The [D]Blackbird and
The Stack [A]of [D]Barley
Rodney's Glory and The Foggy [G]Dew
She sang each [D]note like an [A]Irish [D]linnet
And the tears stood [A]in her eyes [D]of blue

[Verse 5]
[D]
She [A]wore no jew[D]els, nor [A]costly [D]diamonds
No paint, no powder, no, none at [G]all
She wore a [D]bonnet with a [A]ribbon [D]on it
And 'round her [A]shoulders was
a Galway Shawl
[D]

[Verse 6]
[Bb]
'Twas early, [Eb]early, all [Bb]in the m[Eb]orning
I hit the road for old [Ab]Donegal
Said she goodbye, [Eb]sir,
she [Bb]smiled an[Eb]d kissed me
But my heart remained with
[Bb]the Galway shawl[Eb]

[Verse 7]
[Eb]
She [Bb]wore no [Eb]jewels,
nor costly [Bb]diamonds[Eb]
No paint, no powder, no, none at [Ab]all
But she wore a [Eb]bonnet with a [Bb]ribbon [Eb]on it
And 'round her shoulders
[Fm]was [Bb]a Galway Shawl[Eb]
And 'round her shoulders [Bb]was a Gal
[Bb]way Shawl

[Outro 1]
[Ab][Ab][Ab][Eb][Fm][Eb]
