Intro: C#7 F# B C#7
F# B C# F#
Galveston, oh Galveston
F#7 B (B Bbm G#m)
I still hear your sea winds blowin'
C# F# Bbm B (B Bbm G#m)
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
C# Ebm B (F# B C#7)
She was twenty-one, when I left Galveston
F# B C# F#
Galveston, oh Galveston
F#7 B (B Bbm G#m)
I still hear your sea waves crashing
C# F# Bbm B (B Bbm G#m)
While I watch the cannons flashing
C# Ebm B F# B F#
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
A B A B
I still see her standing by the water
C#m A
Standing there lookin' out to sea
F#m B7 E
And is she waiting there for me
G#m F#m B C#7
On the beach where we used to run
F# B C# F#
Galveston, oh Galveston
F#7 B (B Bbm G#m)
I am so afraid of dying
C# F# Bbm B (B Bbm G#m)
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Ebm F# B Bbm G#m
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
Eb B F# B C# F#
At Galveston, at Galveston...
