Daoiri Farrell - The Galway Shawl

 Daoiri takes this classic song into a new dimension. So beautiful!

Some time ago I tabbed and posted the intro to the song. You can find it here:

Now here are the chords for the song. Look at the video and try to play with him.


{t:The Galway Shawl}
{st:Daoiri Farrel Version}


[A] from intro
In Oran[D]more     [D/F#] [G]     in the County [A/C#]Galway
[G]Early, [D]early [D/C#] [D/B]   in the [D/A]month of [G]May [D5] [A]
I spied a [D]damsel, [D/F#] [G]s o fair and [A/C#]handsome  [G]
Her beauty it [D/A]stol[Dsus4/A]e my heart a[D]way 
 
{soc}
She wore no jewels, nor costly diamonds
No paint nor powder, no none at all
But she worn a bonnet with ribbons on it
And 'round her shoulders was the Galway shawl
{eoc}


We kept on walking she kept on talking
'Till her fathers cottage came in to view
Said she, 'Come in sir', and meet my father
And play, to please him, 'The Foggy Dew'

She sat me down beside the hearthstone
I could see her father he was six feet tall
And soon her mother, had the kettle singing
All I could think of, was the Galway shawl

{soc}
She worn no jewels, nor costly diamonds
No paint nor powder, no none at all
But she worn a bonnet with ribbons on it
And 'round her shoulders was the Galway shawl
{eoc}

I played, 'The Black Bird', 'The Stack of Barley'
'Rodney's Glory' and 'The Foggy Dew'
She sang each note like an Irish linnet
And tears weld in her eyes of blue

'Twas early, early, all in the morning
I hit the road for old Donegal
Said she, 'goodbye sir', she cried and kissed me
But my heart remain with the Galway shawl

{soc}
She worn no jewels, nor costly diamonds
No paint nor powder, no none at all
But she worn a bonnet with ribbons on it
And 'round her shoulders was the Galway shawl
{eoc}
