Galway Bay

        A                       
If you ever go across the sea to 
   E
Ireland
Then maybe at the closing of your 
 A
day
You could sit and watch the moon 
            D
rise over Claddagh
     E                             
Or watch the sun go down on Galway 
 A
Bay

[Verse]
                  A                
For the breezes blowing o'er the 
      E
sea to Ireland
Are perfumed by the heather as they 
 A
blow

And the women in the uplands diggin'
    D
 praties
           E                       
Speak a language that the strangers
          A
 do not know

[Verse]
                    A              
For the strangers came and tried to
         E
 teach their way
And scorned us just for being what 
    A
we are
But they might as well go chasing 
         D
after moonbeams
 E                              A
Or light a penny candle from a star

[Verse]
         A                         
And if there is going to be a life 
   E
hereafter
And somehow I am sure there's gonna 
   A
to be
I will ask my God to let me make my 
  D
heaven
    E                              
In that dear land across the Irish
