[Introchorus]
She [Em]played the fiddle in an[G]an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love with an[Cadd9]an English man
[Cadd9]Kissed her on the neck and [G]then I took her by the hand
Said [D]baby I just want to dance
[Verse1]
I met her on [Em]Grafton street [G]right outside of the bar
She shared a [D]cigarette with me while [C]her brother played the guitar
She asked me [Em]what does it mean the [G]Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was [D]one of my friend’s songs do you want to drink on?[C]on?
She took [Em]Jamie as a chaser,[G]chaser, Jack for the fun
She got [D]Arthur on the table, [C]with Johnny riding a shotgun
[Am7]Chatted some more, [G]one more drink at the bar
[D]Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know
[Chorus1]
She [C]played the fiddle in[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love with[C]with an English man
[C]Kissed her on the neck and [G]then I took her by the hand
Said [D]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl [D] [Em]
You’re my pretty little [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl [D] [Em]
[Verse2]
You know she [Em]beat me at darts and [G]then she beat me at pool
And then she [D]kissed me like there was no[C]nobody else in the room
As last [Em]orders were called [G]was when she stood on the stool
After [D]dancing to Ceili singing to trad tunes[G]tunes
I never [Em]heard Carrickfergus eve[G]ever sung so sweet
A cap[D]cappella in the bar usin[C]using her feet for the beat
Oh, I could [Am7]have that voice playing[G]playing on repeat for a week
And in this [D]packed out room swear she was singing to me
[Chorus2]
She [C]played the fiddle in[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love with[C]with an English man
[C]Kissed her on the neck and [G]then I took her by the hand
Said [D]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl
[D] My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my, my [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl
[D] My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my, my [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl
[D] My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my, my [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl [D] [Em]
[Verse3]
Now we’ve [Em]outstayed our welcome[G]welcome and it’s closing time
I was [D]holding her hand, her hand [C]was holding mine
Our [Em]coats both smell of[G]of smoke, whisky and wine
As we [D]fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
I [Em]walked her home [G]then she took me inside
Finish [D]some Doritos and a[C]another bottle of wine
I [Em]swear I’m going to put you [G]in a song that I write
About a [D]Galway Girl and a perfect night
[Chorus3]
She [C]played the fiddle in[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love with[C]with an English man
[C]Kissed her on the neck and [G]then I took her by the hand
Said [D]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl
[D] My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my, my [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl
[D] My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my, my [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl
[D] My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my, my [Cadd9]Galway [G]Girl [D] [Em]
