Chorus:
         F#m               A
     She played the fiddle in an Irish band
             E            Dadd9           D
     But she fell in love with an English man,
     Dadd9                      A
     Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand,
            E
     Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”

             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?
            E                                              Aadd9
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                               Bm7
She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding as shot gun,
                   A
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar,
         E
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know.

Chorus:
         D                 A
     She played the fiddle in an Irish band
             E            D
     But she fell in love with an English man,
                                A
     Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand,
            E
     Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance
                           D    A        E F#m
     With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
                             D    A       E F#m
     You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.

              F#m                  A
You know, she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool,
             E                          D
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                                     Aadd9
After dancing to céilí, singing to trad tunes.

        F#m                 A
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet,
     E                D
A cappella in the bar using her feet for a beat,
            Bm7                     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, you know.

Chorus:
         D                 A
     She played the fiddle in an Irish band
             E            D
     But she fell in love with an English man,
                                A
     Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand,
            E
     Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
                      D    A
     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.

              F#m                   A
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time,
     E                      D
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                 D
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine.
  Bm7                        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            Dadd9
     But she fell in love with an English man,
                                A
     Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand,
            E
     Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
                      D    A
     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.
