G+G       C majorC  D7D7 G+G           G7G7    C majorC   Am7Am7
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'
 D7D7   G+G         C majorC   Am7Am7
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
      D7D7 E minorEm   C majorC        G+G
She was twenty-one when I left Galveston


G+G       C majorC  D7D7 G+G           G7G7    C majorC    Am7Am7
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
   D7D7 G+G         C majorC   Am7Am7
While I watch the cannons flashing
    D7D7 E minorEm    C majorC         G+G
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston


Bb majorBb            C majorC    Bb majorBb   C majorC
I still see her standing by the water
DmDm               Bb majorBb
Standing there lookin' out to sea
      G minorGm    C7C7    FF
And is she waiting there for me?
    A minorAm       DmDm   G minorGm   C majorC  D7D7
On the beach where we used to run


G+G       C majorC D7D7 G+G       G7G7    C majorC   Am7Am7
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
    D7D7 G+G          C majorC   Am7Am7
Before I dry the tears she's crying
     E minorEm          C majorC   B minorBm   Am7Am7
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
     E MajorE  C majorC     G+G
At Galveston, at Galveston.

Rob.
