Lyrics

(F)Gal ves ton, oh, (Bb)Gal (C)ves (F)ton,

(Fmaj7)I still hear your (F7)sea winds (Bb)blow ing;

I (C7)still (F)see her dark eyes (Bb)glow ing.

She was (C7)twen ty one

when (Bb)I left Gal ves (Bb)ton.

(F)Gal ves ton, oh, (Bb)Gal (C)ves (F)ton,

(Fmaj7)I still hear your (F7)sea waves (Bb)crash in’

while (C7)I (F)watch the can nons (Bb)flash in’.

She I (C7)clean my gun,

and (Bb)dream of Gal ves (Bb)ton.

I still see her stand ing by the (Ab)wa ter,

stand ing there look ing out to (Ab)sea.

And is she (Fm)wait ing (Bb7)there for (Eb)me,

on the (Gm7)beach where we (Cm)used to (Db)run?

(F)Gal ves ton, oh!

(Bb)Gal (C)ves (F)ton,

(Fmaj7)I am so a (F7)fraid of (Bb)dy ing,

be fore (C7)I (F)dry the tears she’s (Bb)cry ing,

be (C7)fore I watch your sea birds (Bb)fly ing in the (Gm)sun

at (C)Gal ves (D)ton,

at Gal ves (D)ton.
