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

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


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


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


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


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


Verse 4:
             D                 F#m
I played The Blackbird and The Stack Of Barley,
         Bm             G         A
Rodney's Glory, and The Foggy Dew;
A             D            F#m
She sang each note like an Irish linnet,
        Bm                A                   D G D
And the tears they flowed in her eyes of blue.


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


Verse 5:
       D                F#m
'Twas early, early, all in the morning,
      Bm               G       A
I hit the road for old Donegal;
A         D                           F#m
She said: Goodbye, sir, she cried and kissed me,
       Bm                  A
And my heart remained with the Galway shawl.


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