5  6  6    6  -6 6  6   5   6     6    5   5    4     3  4
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'
4   -4   5   -4   5   -2   3  4     4   4    4 -4  5    3  -5  5   -4 4  4
I still see her dark eyes glowin', she was twenty one when I left Galveston.

 5  6  6    6  -6  6 6   5  6     6     5   5    4     3  4
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashin'
  4   -4  5    -4  5  -2    3   4   4   4   -4  5   3   -5    5  -4 4  4
While I watch the cannons flashin', I clean my gun and dream of Galveston.


-7  -7   -7  -7   -7 -7  -6  -5  6 6
I still see her standing by the water
  -7 -7    -7   -7 -7   -6 -5  6   6   6  6    6  6    6    6  -5 -4
Standing there lookin' out to sea and is she waiting there for me?
-5  -5  -5     -5  -5  -4  -3  4
On the beach where we used to run.


 5  6  6    6  -6 6  6   5  6  6 5  5    4  3 4
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
 4 -4  -4 5   -4   5    -2    3  4 
Before I dry the tears she's crying
 4  4  -4  5    -4   5    6    -6 7  -7  6   -7 7 -7 6
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun.
-6  6  -5 6   -6  6  -5 6
At Galveston, at Galveston.
