verse 1 

D                                    A 
Maybe someday, i'll go back again to Ireland 
                               D 
If my dear old wife would pass away 
                                            Em 
She nearly has my heart broke with all her naggin 
                      A7            D 
She's got a mouth as big as Galway Bay 


verse 2 

D                                       A 
See her drinkin 16 pints of Pabst Blue Ribbon 
                                       D 
And then she can walk home without a sway 
                                       Em 
If the sea were beer instead of salty water 
                          A7      D 
She would live and die in Galway Bay 


verse 3 

D                                    A 
See her drinkin 16 pints of Padgo Murphy's 
                                          D 
When the barman says 'I think its time to go' 
                                   Em 
She doesn't try to speak to him in Gaelic 
                          A7            D 
But a language that the clergy do not know 


verse 4 

D                                    A 
On her back she has tattooed a map of Ireland 
                                     D 
And when she takes her bath on Saturday 
                                       Em 
She rubs the sunlight soap around by Claddaugh 
                             A7             D 
Just to watch the suds roll down by Galway Bay
