Daoiri Farrell - The Galway Girl

 This is a song Daoiri does not play too often. I was happy to find it in one of the Covid Corner Sessions. But when looking through youtube I couldn't find the recording anymore. Maybe he deleted it? But lots of other Covid Session videos are still there.

So I uploaded it for learning purpose on my youtube account, hope it's ok with Daoiri.

I tried to figure out the chords he plays in this video and hope they are correct. I really like some of the chords, e.g. Bm7(no5) which is 4700

And the sequence Bm, A, G, D he plays 4040,2040,0025,7000

Daoiri has his capo on fret 3!

{title:Galway Girl}
{St:Steve Earle)}
Capo 3

Intro Chord: [Bm7(no5)] {soh}(4700){eoh}


[D5]Well, I took a stroll on the old long walk
Of a [D]day -I-[A]ay-I-[G]ay   [D/A]
I [Bm]met a little [D/A]girl and we [G]stopped to [D/A]talk                                              
Of a [D/A]fine soft [A]day -I-[D5]ay

{soc}
And I [Bm7(no5)]ask you, [D5]friend, [G/D] [D5]
what's a [Bm7(no5)]fella to [D]do   [G/D] [D5]
'Cause her [Bm]hair was [D/A]black and her [G]eyes were [D]blue
{soh}Chords: 4040,2040,0025,7000{eoh}
And I [Bm7(no5)]knew right [D5]then
I'd be [Bm7(no5)]takin' a [D5]whirl
'Round the [Bm]Salthill [D/A]Prom with a [G]Galway [D]girl
{eoc}

 [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [G] [D] [A] [D]

{soc}
|: (Na na) [D]na na na nana, na na nanana
[G]na na nananana [D]nanana
[G]na [D]na [G/B]nana[A/C#]nana[D5]na
[Dsus4/A]na na nananana na na na :|

[G]Oh, la da da da di di di
[D]di di [D/F#]di  di [A]di
di di  [G]di [D]di   [G/B]di di[A/C#]di di [D5]di
[Dsus4/A]di di dididi di di di di
di di  [G]di [D]di   [G/B]di di[A/C#]di di [D5]di
[Dsus4/A]di di dididi di di di [D5]di
{eoc}


[D]We were halfway there when the rain came down
Of a [D]day -I-[A]ay-I-[G]ay   [D/A]
And she [D]asked me up to her flat downtown
Of a [Bm7(no5)]fine soft day -I-[D5]ay

{soc}
And I [Bm7(no5)]ask you, [D5]friend, [G/D] [D5]
what's a [Bm7(no5)]fella to [D]do   [G/D] [D5]
'Cause her [Bm]hair was [D/A]black and her [G]eyes were [D]blue
So I [G]took her [D]hand and I [G]gave her a [D]twirl
And I [Bm]lost my [A]heart to a G[G]alway g[D]irl
{eoc}


[D]When I woke up I was all alone
Of a [D]day -I-[A]ay-I-[G]ay   [D/A]
With a [D]broken heart and a ticket home
Of a [Bm7(no5)]fine soft day -I-[D5]ay


{soc}
And I [Bm7(no5)]ask you [D]now,
tell me [Bm7(no5)]what would you [D]do
If her [Bm]hair was [A]black and her [G]eyes were b[D]lue
I've [Bm7(no5)]traveled ar[D]ound
been all [Bm7(no5)]over this [D]world
Ain't [Bm]never seen [A]nothin' like a G[G]alway [D]girl
{eoc}

Here's a tab I made just with the chords. If you want it in printable form you can just write me an email and comment.
