Chorus:
Cm D#
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
Bb G#add9 G#
But she fell in love with an English man,
G#add9
Kissed her on the neck
D#
And then I took her by the hand,
Bb
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
Cm
I met her on Grafton Street
D#
Right outside of the bar,
Bb
She shared a cigarette with me
G#
While her brother played the guitar.
Cm
She asked me what does it mean,
D#
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
Bb
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
D#add9
Do you want to drink on?
Cm D#
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
Bb
She got Arthur on the table
G# Fm7
With Johnny riding as shot gun,
Chatted some more,
D#
One more drink at the bar,
Bb
Then put Van on the jukebox,
Got up to dance, you know.
Chorus:
G# D#
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
Bb G#
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck
D#
And then I took her by the hand,
Bb
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance
G# D# Bb Cm
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
G# D# Bb Cm
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
Cm
You know, she beat me at darts
D#
And then she beat me at pool,
Bb
And then she kissed me
G#
Like there was nobody else in the room.
Cm
As last orders were called,
D#
Was when she stood on the stool
Bb
After dancing to céilí,
D#add9
Singing to trad tunes.
Cm
I never heard Carrickfergus
D#
Ever sung so sweet,
Bb
A cappella in the bar
G#
Using her feet for a beat,
Fm7
Oh, I could have that voice
D#
Playing on repeat for a week,
Bb
And in this packed out room swear
She was singing to me, you know.
Chorus:
G# D#
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
Bb G#
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck

G# D#
My pretty little Galway Girl,
Bb Cm
My, my, my, my,
G# D#
My, my, my Galway Girl,
Bb Cm
My, my, my, my,
G# D#
My, my, my Galway Girl,
Bb Cm
My, my, my, my,
G# D# Bb Cm
My, my, my Galway Girl.
Cm
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome
D#
And it’s closing time,
Bb
I was holding her hand,
G#
Her hand was holding mine.
Cm
Our coats both smell
D#
Of smoke, whisky and wine
Bb
As we fill up our lungs
With the cold air of the night.
Cm
I walked her home,
D#
Then she took me inside,
Bb
Finish some Doritos
G#
And another bottle of wine.
Fm7
I swear I’m going to put you
D#
In a song that I write
Bb
About a Galway Girl
And a perfect night.

My pretty little Galway Girl,

My, my, my, my,

My, my, my, my,

My, my, my Galway Girl,

My, my, my, my,

My, my, my Galway Girl.
