Galway Bay chords

Capo 1

[INTRO]
[D]

[D]If you ever go across the sea to Ire[A]land,
[A]then maybe at the closing of your d[D]ay,
[D]you can sit and watch the moon rise over C[G]laddagh,
and s[A]ee the sun go down on Galway Ba[D]y.

[D]Just to hear again the ripple of the tr[A]out stream,
Th[A]e women in the meadow making ha[D]y,
[D]just to sit beside the turf fire in a ca[G]bin,
[A]and watch the barefoot gosoons as t[D]hey play

[G]Oooo[D]h O[Em]ooo[D]h O[G]ooo[D]h oo[A]oh

Fo[D]r the breezes blowing o'er the sea's from
Irel[A]and,
Ar[A]e perfumed by the heather as they bl[D]ow,
An[D]d the women in the uplands digging pra[G]ties
Speak a l[Em]anguage that the st[A]rangers do not kn[D]ow.

Ye[D]t the strangers came and tried to teach u
s the[A]ir ways,
And they sco[A]rned us just for being what we
a[D]re,

B[F#m]ut they might as well go chasin after moon
be[Em]ams,
or li[A]ght a penny candle from a s[D]tar.

A[D]nd if there's gonna be a life here af[A]ter,
And so[A]mehow I'm sure there's gonna [D]be,
I wi[D]ll ask my God to let me make my He[G]aven,
[A]In that dear land across the Iris[D]h sea.

I wi[D]ll ask my God to let me make my He[G]aven,
In m[A]y dear land across the Irish se[D]a.
