Galway Bay Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Capo 1

[VERSE]
If you e[A]ver go across the sea to Ir[E]eland
Then maybe at the closing of your d[A]ay
You could sit and watch the moon rise over Cl[D]addagh
Or wa[E]tch the sun go down on Galway B[A]ay

[VERSE]
For the breezes bl[A]owing o'er the sea to I[E]reland
Are perfumed by the heather as they b[A]low
And the women in the uplands diggin' pra[D]ties
Speak a lan[E]guage that the strangers do not kn[A]ow

[VERSE]
For the strangers ca[A]me and tried to teach th[E]eir way
And scorned us just for being what we a[A]re
But they might as well go chasing after moo[D]nbeams
O[E]r light a penny candle from a s[A]tar

[VERSE]
And if th[A]ere is going to be a life her[E]eafter
And somehow I am sure there's gonna to [A]be
I will ask my God to let me make my he[D]aven
In t[E]hat dear land across the Irish s[A]ea
