Chorus:
Bbm C#
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
G# F#add9 F#
But she fell in love with an English man,
F#add9
Kissed her on the neck
C#
And then I took her by the hand,
G#
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
Bbm
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.
Bbm
She asked me what does it mean,
C#
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
G#
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
C#add9
Do you want to drink on?
Bbm C#
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
G#
She got Arthur on the table
F# D#m7
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# Bbm
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
F# C# G# Bbm
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
Bbm
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.
Bbm
As last orders were called,
C#
Was when she stood on the stool
G#
After dancing to céilí,
C#add9
Singing to trad tunes.
Bbm
I never heard Carrickfergus
C#
Ever sung so sweet,
G#
A cappella in the bar
F#
Using her feet for a beat,
D#m7
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.

F# C#
My pretty little Galway Girl,
G# Bbm
My, my, my, my,
F# C#
My, my, my Galway Girl,
G# Bbm
My, my, my, my,
F# C#
My, my, my Galway Girl,
G# Bbm
My, my, my, my,
F# C# G# Bbm
My, my, my Galway Girl.
Bbm
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.
Bbm
Our coats both smell
C#
Of smoke, whisky and wine
G#
As we fill up our lungs
With the cold air of the night.
Bbm
I walked her home,
C#
Then she took me inside,
G#
Finish some Doritos
F#
And another bottle of wine.
D#m7
I swear I’m going to put you
C#
In a song that I write
G#
About a Galway Girl
And a perfect night.
