Key: F Intro: D Bm Em G Bm D Em G D Bm Em G D Bm Em G D Bm Em G Bm D Em G Verse 1: D Bm Em G The Atlantic rain reminds me of home D Bm Em G And the sweet narrow streets that I wander alone D Bm Em G Are like scenes from my childhood and the air is like wine Bm D Em G And the people are friendly and the music is fine D Bm Em G And the last time I saw you on the street of the quays D Bm Em G You were wearing the coat that you bought in Tralee D Bm Em G And a wild rushing river sang a wild forlorn blues Bm D Em G About time and old promises and a heart like a bruise
Chorus: D Bm Em G Come back to Galway with spring in your stride D Bm Em G Where a welcome waits in the town of the tribes D Bm Em G You'll know where to find me just follow the tune Bm Step light as you go D Em Keep a song on your bow G D And come back soon Verse 2: Bm Em G I’ve been down to the Claddagh and to St Augustine's Well D Bm Em G I confess I'm unmoved by those catholic bells D Bm Em G They don’t stab my heart like I know they stab yours Bm D Em G I guess that's one wound that you won't ever cure D Bm Em G They were smoking reefers in the old harbour bar D Bm Em G And I wondered a while about who and what you are D Bm Em G And a mandolin struck up and a tin whistle so clear Bm D Em G And I thought to myself, man I wish he was here Chorus: D Bm Em G Come back to Galway with spring in your stride D Bm Em G Where a welcome waits in the town of the tribes D Bm Em G You'll know where to find me just follow the tune Bm Step light as you go D Em Keep a song on your bow G And come back soon [Instrumental] D Bm Em G D Bm Em G D Bm Em G D Bm Em G D Bm Em G Verse 3: D Bm Em G Well, I moved on up the coastline to a cottage I found D Bm Em G It looks over the bay I can see all around D Bm Em G Three islands like shadows on the distant low sky Bm D Em G And strange silver mountains so pleasing to my eye D Bm Em G I'm not bored, never idle I have plenty to do D Bm Em G But my thoughts and emotions keep returning to you D Bm Em G What you're dealing with no man would wanna face Bm D Em G But you'll meet it, and you'll defeat it and when you get to that place Chorus: D Bm Em G Come back to Galway with spring in your stride D Bm Em G Where your brother waits in the town of the tribes D Bm Em G You'll know where to find me just follow the tune Bm Step light as you go D Em Keep a song on your bow G And come back soon Outro: D Bm Em G D Bm Em G D Bm Em G Bm D Em G D Bm Em G (Repeat and fade out)
