Verse 1:
  D MajorD          F# minorF#m
In Oranmore in the county Galway,
F# minorF#m     B minorBm           G+G  A augmentedA
One pleasant evening in the month of May;
 A augmentedA    D MajorD            F# minorF#m
I spied a damsel,she was young and handsom,
      B minorBm        A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Her beauty fairly took my breath away.

Chorus:
      D MajorD     F# minorF#m
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
     B minorBm        G+G    A augmentedA
No paint or powder, no none at all;
A augmentedA     D MajorD          F# minorF#m
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
    B minorBm         A augmentedA      D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.


Verse 2:
     D MajorD       F# minorF#m
We kept on walking, she kept on talking,
     B minorBm          G+G     A augmentedA
Till her father's cottage came into view;
A augmentedA     D MajorD            F# minorF#m
She said: Come in, sir, and meet my father,
      B minorBm        A augmentedA   D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And play to please him The Foggy Dew.


Chorus:
      D MajorD     F# minorF#m
She wore no jewels, no costly diamonds,
     B minorBm        G+G    A augmentedA
No paint or powder, no none at all;
A augmentedA     D MajorD          F# minorF#m
She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
    B minorBm         A augmentedA      D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.

Verse 3:
      D MajorD        F# minorF#m
She sat me down beside the fire,
        B minorBm       G+G       A augmentedA
I could see her father, he was six feet tall;
A augmentedA      D MajorD           F# minorF#m
And soon her mother had the kettle singing,
     B minorBm          A augmentedA      D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And all I could think of was the Galway shawl.

She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
    B minorBm         A augmentedA      D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.

       D MajorD         F# minorF#m
I played The Blackbird and The Stack Of Barley,
     B minorBm       G+G     A augmentedA
Rodney's Glory, and The Foggy Dew;
A augmentedA       D MajorD      F# minorF#m
She sang each note like an Irish linnet,
    B minorBm        A augmentedA          D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And the tears they flowed in her eyes of blue.


Chorus:
      D MajorD     F# minorF#m

    B minorBm         A augmentedA      D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.

'Twas early, early, all in the morning,
   B minorBm        G+G    A augmentedA
I hit the road for old Donegal;
A augmentedA     D MajorD              F# minorF#m
She said: Goodbye, sir, she cried and kissed me,
    B minorBm         A augmentedA
And my heart remained with the Galway shawl.

No paint or powder, no none at all;

She wore a bonnet with ribbons on it,
    B minorBm         A augmentedA      D MajorD G+G D MajorD
And on her shoulder was the Galway shawl.
