This is a beautiful version of Steve Earle's "Galway Girl" by Stewart Lee. I love how he gives the song the tragic and sad mood it deserves - this is about a broken heart, after all. This song was played at the very end of his 2010 show "If You Prefer a Milder Comedian, Please Ask For One" with Nick Pynn on the violin. Do yourself a favour and buy that amazing DVD. You can find the song on that YouTube they have now, but experiencing the full performance is a must. Couple of things: Play the A like x02230, Light strums without hitting the e string (xx023x) in the verse sounds better to me, On the chord, hammer the string on the 2nd fret when it feels right, He does a run on the chord sometimes, like ( |--3--2--0-) but I'm not sure. (with Violin): -- I took a stroll on the old long walk On a day -I-ay-I-ay I met a little girl and we stopped to talk On a fine day -I-ay-I-ay And I'm asking you son, what would you do For her hair was black and her eyes were blue And I knew right then I'd be takin' a whirl I lost my heart to a Galway Girl When I woke up I was all alone With a broken heart and a ticket home And I'm asking you son, what'd you have done For her hair was black and her eyes were blue And I've been all over this big old world And I ain't never seen nothin' like a Galway Girl And I give it to you straight Like a cyder that's made From one hundred percent pears From one hundred percent pears From one hundred percent pears Is there any disapointment in there? Is your bread and butter salting with regrets? Do you ever get the feeling you've been cheated... Well maybe Johnny just a bit Well the Galway Girl by Steve Earle Was my favorite song But they sold it off to a cyder ad And my memories went wrong And I'm asking you son What's an artist to do? For the kind of money they ain' offering you! And I drop the needle Give the record a whirl But I just can't listen to the Galway Girl (--!) And Iggy Pop wants to be Wants to be your dog!
