Galway Bay

G                                
If you ever go across the sea to 
D7
Ireland

Then maybe at the closing of your 
G
day

You will sit and watch the moon rise
      C
 over Claddagh

    D7                            
And see the sun go down on Galway 
G
Bay


Just to hear again the rippling of 
    D7
the trout stream

See the women in the meadows making 
G
hay

And to sit beside a turf fire in the
 C
 cabin

    D7                             
And watch the barefoot gossoons at 
      G
their play


For the strangers came and tried to 
         D7
teach us their way

They scorn us just for being what we
 G
 are

But they might as well go chasing 
      C
after moonbeams

   D7                          G
Or light a penny candle from a star


And if there's going to be a life 
D7
hereafter

And somehow I am sure there's going 
   G
to be

I will ask my God to let me make my 
C
heaven

   D7                              
In that dear land across the Irish 
G
sea


         D7                      
So I can watch the sun go down on 
        G
Galway Bay
