Galway Bay chords by Johnny Paycheck

Chords with lyrics

G+G                D7D7
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland

                 G+G
Then maybe at the closing of your day

                     C majorC
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh

  D7D7              G+G
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay


                    D7D7
Just to hear again the rippling of the trout stream

                  G+G
See the women in the meadows making hay

                   C majorC
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin

  D7D7                  G+G
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play

                       D7D7
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way

                   G+G
They scorn us just for being what we are

                    C majorC
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams

  D7D7             G+G
Or light a penny candle from a star


                 D7D7
And if there's going to be a life hereafter

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

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

  D7D7               G+G
In that dear land across the Irish sea


     D7D7               G+G
So I can watch the sun go down on Galway Bay
