Am C
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
G Fadd9 F
But she fell in love with an English man,
Fadd9
Kissed her on the neck
C
And then I took her by the hand,

Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
Am
I met her on Grafton Street
C
Right outside of the bar,
G
She shared a cigarette with me
F
While her brother played the guitar.
Am
She asked me what does it mean,
C
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
G
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
Cadd9
Do you want to drink on?
Am C
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
G
She got Arthur on the table
F Dm7
With Johnny riding as shot gun,
Chatted some more,
C
One more drink at the bar,
G
Then put Van on the jukebox,
Got up to dance, you know.

Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance
F C G Am
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
F C G Am
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
Am
You know, she beat me at darts
C
And then she beat me at pool,
G
And then she kissed me
F
Like there was nobody else in the room.
Am
As last orders were called,
C
Was when she stood on the stool
G
After dancing to céilí,
Cadd9
Singing to trad tunes.
Am
I never heard Carrickfergus
C
Ever sung so sweet,
G
A cappella in the bar
F
Using her feet for a beat,
Dm7
Oh, I could have that voice
C
Playing on repeat for a week,
G
And in this packed out room swear
She was singing to me, you know.

My pretty little Galway Girl,

Am
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome
C
And it’s closing time,
G
I was holding her hand,
F
Her hand was holding mine.
Am
Our coats both smell
C
Of smoke, whisky and wine
G
As we fill up our lungs
With the cold air of the night.
Am
I walked her home,
C
Then she took me inside,
G
Finish some Doritos
F
And another bottle of wine.
Dm7
I swear I’m going to put you
C
In a song that I write
G
About a Galway Girl
And a perfect night.
