[Chorus]
F#m A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
E D
But she fell in love with an English man
F#m A
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
E
Said baby I just want to dance
[Verse]
F#m A
I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
E D
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
F#m A
She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?
F#m N.C.
Said it was one of my friend’s songs do you want to drink on?
F#m A
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
E D
She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as a shotgun
F#m A
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
E
Then put Van on the jukebox, got to dance, you know
[Chorus]
F#m A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
E D
But she fell in love with an English man
F#m A
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
E
Said baby I just want to dance
F#m A E D
With my pretty little Galway Girl
F#m A E D
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl
[Verse]
F#m A
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
E F#m
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
F#m A
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
E N.C.
After dancing to Céilí singing to trad tunes
F#m A
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
E F#m
A capella in the bar using her feet for the beat
F#m A
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
E
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me
[Chorus]
F#m A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
E D
But she fell in love with an English man
F#m A
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
E
Said baby I just want to dance
F#m A E D
With my pretty little Galway Girl
E F#m D A
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E F#m D A
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E F#m D A E F#m
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[Verse]
F#m A
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time
E F#m
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
F#m A
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
E
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
F#m A
I walked her home then she took me inside
E F#m
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
F#m A
I swear I’m going to put you in a song that I write
E
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night
[Chorus]
F#m A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
E D
But she fell in love with an English man
F#m A
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
E
Said baby I just want to dance
F#m A
With my pretty little Galway Girl
E F#m D A
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E F#m D A
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E F#m D A E F#m
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[Outro]
D A E F#m
D A E F#m
D A E F#m
D A E F#m
