Its actually in the key of F, but is much easier and enjoyable to play in G.
[Verse 1]
G C D7 G G7 C Am7
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'
D7 G C Am7
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
D7 Em C G
She was twenty-one when I left Galveston
[Verse 2]
G C D7 G G7 C Am7
Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
D7 G C Am7
While I watch the cannons flashing
D7 Em C G
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston
[Bridge]
Bb C Bb C
I still see her standing by the water
Dm Bb
Standing there lookin' out to sea
Gm C7 F
And is she waiting there for me?
Am Dm Gm C D7
On the beach where we used to run
[Verse 3]
G C D7 G G7 C Am7
Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
D7 G C Am7
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Em C Bm Am7
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
E C G
At Galveston, at Galveston.
Rob.
