Well I (D)took a strool on the old long walk,
Of a day I-ay I-(G)ay
I (Bm)met a little (A)girl and we (G)stopped to (D)talk,
Of a fine soft (A)day I (D)ay-I ay

And I (G)ask you (D)friend
What’s a (G)fella to (D)do
Because her (Bm)hair was (A)black and her (G)eyes were (D)blue,
And I (G)knew right (D)then
I’d be (G)taking a (D)whirl
Round the (Bm)Salthill (A)prom with a (G)Galway (D)girl

D-D-D-D-G-G-G-D G-D-G-D-A-A-A-D

We were (D)half way there when the rain came down,
Of a day I ay I (G)ay
And she (Bm)took me (A)up to her (G)flat down(D)town,
On a fine soft (A)day I (D)ay-I ay,

And I (G)ask you (D)friend
What’s a (G)fella to (D)do
Because her (Bm)hair was (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 then I (Bm)lost my (A)heart to a (G)Galway (D)girl

When I (D)woke up I was all alone,
D-D-G-G
With a (Bm)broken (A)heart and a (G)ticket (D)home,
D-G-D-D

And I (G)ask you (D)friend
Oh (G)what would you to d(D)o,
If her (Bm)hair was (A)black and her (G)eyes were (D)blue,
See I've (G)travelled a(D)round
I've been (G)all over this (D)world, - boys
And (Bm)never seen (A)nothing like a (G)Galway (D)girl

That's it, you repeat it all three times over for the full song. Some versions have solos after each of the verses. The solos are roughly the same notes as the verse with a bit of ad-libbing. As these are ''Lead Notes'' they are not only for the tin whistle but are suitable for accordion and fiddle.

The video on how to play the song on tin whistle is by Jean-Baptiste Meynard who is using a D whistle. The notes played may not be exactly the same as I have given. Be imaginative and play your own version of the tune. No tune has to be played exactly the same as who made it famous. Once the basic melody of the tune is kept in place that's all that matters.

Galway Girl Sheet Music Notes For Tin Whistle

Galway Girl tin whistle notes, easy version.

It seemed that there were some beginners who were having problems playing the sheet music I already had on the site, so I have made it a lot easier with the tin whistle tab above where I have placed the words into the music and taken away all the extra filler notes. I'm sure this will be much easier to play. Below is the easy to play letter note version of the sheet music above.

Galway Girl Letter Notes

Galway girl easy beginner piano / keyboard letter notes

Here's are the easy notes in a higher key, I found this version much better to play than the above one even though it goes up to the high g note. If you're playing this on accordion / fiddle / or banjo then remember that all the notes are natural, there are no sharps or flats. The low notes are in CAPITAL letters and the higher one's past B are in small lower case letters.
