Galway Farmer Show of Hands (Capo 3 Gm)
SLOW
Em
I work my days on a Galway farm,
D
In the sun and rain, wind and storm,
Em
But once a year I'll chance my arm
D Am
And cross the sea to England.
Em
I'll scrimp and save two thousand pounds,
D
Spend a week in Cheltenham town,
Em
But the racing over, always down,
D Am
I come back poor from England......
FAST
Em
I dreamt one night before I left,
C
A coal-black mare with a white-star chest,
D
Crossed the line and beat the rest,
C
I came back rich to Galway.
Em
I rose at dawn, drove all day,
C
Thinking, wondering all the way,
D
Lady Luck, have you come to stay,
C
Or steal away my morning.
Fiddler or strum Am x4, Em x4
SLOWER
Em
When I got to Cheltenham town,
D
Irish faces all around,
Em
No bed or mattress to be found,
G Am
I slept on the hillside.
Em
Spent three days in the viewing ring,
D
Saw the horses they let in,
Em
Just as I was giving in,
D Am
I stood and stared in wonder.....
FAST
Em
With stamping hooves and steaming breath,
C
A coal-black mare with a white star chest
D
I ran my finger down the list
Em Am
Matched the name and the number
Em
Lady Luck had come half-way
C
The horse's name was Galway Bay
D
Twenty-to-one the odds that day
D Em
I went to make my wager
Fiddler or strum Am x 4, Em x 4
SLOWER
Em
I counted out two thousand pounds
C
Held it high, slapped it down
Em
The bookie smiled but made no sounds
D Am
I knew what he was thinking
Faster
Em
The biggest loser in the land
C
With a pounding heart, a shaking hand
D
I made my way up to the stand
D Em
As the horses came to order
Em
But at the first she nearly fell
C
I cursed my farmer's luck to hell
D
The second and third took quite well
D C
But way behind the leader
Em
Then moving sweetly from the back
C
She found her rails and caught the pack
D
Ten to go and from the track
D Am
The hooves were drumming thunder.....
Major Fiddle interlude or strum
Am x 4, Em x4
getting faster
ending on Em basically as a bridge
FAST
Em
She's catching horses one by one
C
Bridle flashing in the sun
D
Eight to go, a mile to run
D C
Two were up before her
Em
On the straight down they sped
C
Left one at the last for dead
D
Caught the next and by a head
D C Em
.......She came home the winner!!!!!!!!!
SLOWER
Em
So I came back to my Galway farm
D
A wiser and much richer man
Em
Never again I'll chance my arm
D Am
Or cross the sea to England.......
Fast Fast Fast!!
Em
'Cause Lady Luck was mine that day
C
I held her close, I went my way
D
Now I raise my glass to Galway Bay
D C Em
And the dream of a Galway farmer
Fiddler takes us out!! Again strum Am x4, Em x 4 as above.
