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