Galway Bay

(início)

G                                D7
If you ever go across the sea to Ireland
                                  G
Then maybe at the closing of your day
                                          C
You will sit and watch the moon rise over Claddagh
    D7                            G
And see the sun go down on Galway Bay
                                       D7
Just to hear again the rippling of the trout stream
                                    G
See the women in the meadows making hay
                                     C
And to sit beside a turf fire in the cabin
    D7                                   G
And watch the barefoot gossoons at their play
                                             D7
For the strangers came and tried to teach us their way
                                     G
They scorn us just for being what we are
                                        C
But they might as well go chasing after moonbeams
   D7                          G
Or light a penny candle from a star
                                  D7
And if there's going to be a life hereafter
                                       G
And somehow I am sure there's going to be
                                    C
I will ask my God to let me make my heaven
   D7                              G
In that dear land across the Irish sea
         D7                              G
So I can watch the sun go down on Galway Bay
