[INTRO]
[C] [G7] [C] [G7] [C] [G7] [F] [G7] [C]

[VERSE 1]
I've the [G]face of a stranger, with a [F]smile of a [G]rover
I take a glass at down Kinvara and a [Dm]jug at Oughte[G]rard
Down the great donkey roads, through the [F]hills of Conne[G]mara
To my dark Spanish [C]handsome love, way [Am]down in Galway [G]town

[CHORUS]
Where [C]Jimmy is me love, he's me [G]pride, he's me [C]darling
[Dm7]Jimmy leaves me [C]wander to the [Dm]ends of the [G]world
[C]Jimmy brings me love, gives me [G]hope and sets me [Am]dreaming
And [F]when the leaves are [C]turning, in his [Am]arms I'll settle [G]down
In Galway [C]town

[VERSE 2]
The sprin[G]g brings the swallow,[F] a fresh land of the [G]rover
Where the blushing summer roses shed their [Dm]petals to the [G]glen
And the long breathless evenings where the [F]loneliness is [G]heaven
Makes the dreaming come so [C]easy on the [Am]road to Galway [G]town

[CHORUS]
Where [C]Jimmy is me love, he's me [G]pride, he's me [C]darling
[Dm7]Jimmy leaves me [C]wander to the [Dm]ends of the [G]world
[C]Jimmy brings me love, gives me [G]hope and sets me [Am]dreaming
And [F]when the leaves are [C]turning, in his [Am]arms I'll settle [G]down
In Galway [C]town

[VERSE 3]
[G]Curlew are calling, a [F]shy fawn is [G]prancing
All the ferns on them bulbing by the [Dm]thousand gentle [G]eyes
And the creatures of Éireann sing their [F]own sweet songs of [G]pleasure
As the rover goes a-[C]whistling down the [Am]road to Galway [G]town

[CHORUS]
Where [C]Jimmy is me love, he's me [G]pride, he's me [C]darling
[Dm7]Jimmy leaves me [C]wander to the [Dm]ends of the [G]world
[C]Jimmy brings me love, gives me [G]hope and sets me [Am]dreaming
And [F]when the leaves are [C]turning, in his [Am]arms I'll settle [G]down
In Galway [C]town

[CHORUS]
Where he's me love, he's me [G]pride, he's me [C]darling
[Dm7]Jimmy leaves me [C]wander to the [Dm]ends of the [G]world
[C]Jimmy brings me love, gives me [G]hope and sets me [Am]dreaming
And [F]when the leaves are [C]turning, in his [Am]arms I'll settle [G]down
In Galway [C]town
