GUEST,Rich_and_Dee Lyr/Chords ADD: Galway Rover (Pete St. John) (14) Lyr/Chords Add: THE GALWAY ROVER (Pete St John) 19 Jan 04


Quite a while ago there were requests for chords to the song "Galway Rover", a Pete St John song popularized by Cherish the Ladies.

I've received so much great help advice and chords from this group, I thought I'd contribute a little back. Here are the chords to the song, as I've been able to figure them out. Enjoy.

THE GALWAY ROVER

A                                                    E
I've the face of a stranger , with the smile of a rover
A                                                    D
I'll take a glass at down Kinvarna, and a jug at Oughterard
A                                                 E
Down the great donkey roads to the hills of Connemara
       D               E             D       E       A
To my dark Spanish handsome love way down in Galway town

D                                  A                D
Where Jimmy he's me love, he's me pride, he's me darling
G                            D               A
Jimmy leaves me wander to the ends of the world
D                                 A                   D
Jimmy brings me love, gives me hope, and sets me dreaming
    G               
And when the leaves are turning,
       D                A             D
In his arms I'll settle down in Galway town
