Strum
D-DU-UDU
 You'd insist  we'd share the driving  when we left  the city lights
 In a clapped  out Morris Minor  heading west  on Friday nights
 And the heater wasn't working  and we never  had a spare
 But we called  that old car Flattery,  coz it got  us everywhere
 And when  we'd stop to pitch  the tent  it always seemed  to rain
 And it's then  that I'd discover  you'd forgot  the pegs again
 And I couldn't get  the campfire lit  not matter  how I tried
 Don't you remember?
 We had roadside stops  for bread  and cheese  and Supermarket Wine
 When the world  was ours and I  was yours
 And I  thought you were mine
 Repeat Intro
 Do you remember Galway Races and the man in Harris Tweed?
 Who, because he knew your father, said he'd do us a good deed
 And the horse he put our money on, I'd swear it's running still
 And we were staying in a boarding house and couldn't pay the bill
 But you laughed when I went overboard - you told me not to swear
 Saying "the town's full of Americans - let's go busking in Eyre Square
 And the Blarney Stone and the leprechauns will surely see us through"
 Don't you remember?
 We sang Danny Boy and Galway Bay at least eighty seven times
 And the world was ours and I was yours
 And I thought you were mine
 Repeat Intro
 You called me from the airport just before you caught your plane
 And you told me you were leaving but that I was not to blame
 And you hoped that I would understand and we'd always be good friends
 But I knew from what you said that we would never meet again
 But I must confess it hurt like Hell and that I miss you yet
 For you were not the sort of girl that's easy to forget
 And sometimes some half-forgotten fragment of you trips my mind
 And I remember?
 All those roadside stops for bread and cheese and Supermarket wine
 When the world was ours and I was yours and I thought you were mine
 All those roadside stops for bread and cheese and Supermarket wine
 When the world was ours and I was yours and I thought you were mine
 Repeat Intro
