Dear MJ
There are many verses to this song - I'll give you the first couple just in case it's not what you want.

As I roved to Galway town to seek for recreation
On the 17th of August my mind was elevated
There were multitudes assembled with their tickets at the station
My eyes began to dazzle and they goin' to see the races
With me whack fol the do fol the diddeley idle ay

There were passengers from Limerick and passengers from Nenagh
And passengers from Dublin and sportsmen from Tipp'rary
There were passengers from Kerry and all the quarters of the nation
And out member Mr Hasset for to join the Galway Blazers
With me etc

The chord sequence is A; F#m; D; E;A; E; D; A; f#m; E; A; F#m; E; F#m
Hope this helps
Annegi
