Verse
F A# F
It's far away I am today
C F
from scenes I roamed a boy
C F A#
And long ago the hour, I know
C
I first saw Illinois
F A#
But time nor tide nor waters wide
C
could wean my heart away
F A# F
Forever true it flies to you
C F
my own dear Galway Bay
[Verse 2]
F A# F
Both grey and bleak, by shore and creek
C F
the rugged rocks abound
C F A#
But sweet and green the grass between
C
that grows on Irish ground
F A#
So friendship fond all else beyond
C
and love to live always
F A# F
Bless each dear home beside your foam
C F
my own dear Galway Bay
[Verse 3]
F A# F
My chosen bride is by my side
C F
her brown hair silvery-grey
C F A#
Our daughter oh so like her grows
C
as April dawn to day
F A#
Our only boy, his mothers joy
A# C
and his father's pride so gay
F A# F
With gifts like these I'd live at ease
C F
Beside you Galway Bay
[Verse 4]
F A# F
Had I youth's blood and hopeful mood
C F
and heart of fire once more
C F A#
For all the gold the earth could hold
C
I'd never leave your shore
F A#
I'd live content whatever God sent
C
midst neighbors old and grey
F A# F
And lay my bones 'neath churchyard stones
C F
beside you Galway Bay
[Verse 5]
F A# F
The blessings of a poor old man
C F
be with you night and day
C F A#
The blessings of a lonely man
C
whose heart will soon be clay
F A#
'Tis all the heaven I ask of God
C
upon my dying day
F A# F
My soul to soar forever more
C F
above you, Galway Bay
