Chorus:
G#m B
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
F# Eadd9 E
But she fell in love with an English man,
Eadd9
Kissed her on the neck
B
And then I took her by the hand,
F#
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
G#m
I met her on Grafton Street
B
Right outside of the bar,
F#
She shared a cigarette with me
E
While her brother played the guitar.
G#m
She asked me what does it mean,
B
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
F#
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
Badd9
Do you want to drink on?
G#m B
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
F#
She got Arthur on the table
E C#m7
With Johnny riding as shot gun,
Chatted some more,
B
One more drink at the bar,
F#
Then put Van on the jukebox,
Got up to dance, you know.
Chorus:
E B
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
F# E
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck
B
And then I took her by the hand,
F#
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance
E B F# G#m
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
E B F# G#m
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
G#m
You know, she beat me at darts
B
And then she beat me at pool,
F#
And then she kissed me
E
Like there was nobody else in the room.
G#m
As last orders were called,
B
Was when she stood on the stool
F#
After dancing to céilí,
Badd9
Singing to trad tunes.
G#m
I never heard Carrickfergus
B
Ever sung so sweet,
F#
A cappella in the bar
E
Using her feet for a beat,
C#m7
Oh, I could have that voice
B
Playing on repeat for a week,
F#
And in this packed out room swear
She was singing to me, you know.
Chorus:
E B
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
F# E
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck
B
And then I took her by the hand,
F#
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
E B
My pretty little Galway Girl,
F# G#m
My, my, my, my,
E B
My, my, my Galway Girl,
F# G#m
My, my, my, my,
E B
My, my, my Galway Girl,
F# G#m
My, my, my, my,
E B F# G#m
My, my, my Galway Girl.
G#m
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome
B
And it’s closing time,
F#
I was holding her hand,
E
Her hand was holding mine.
G#m
Our coats both smell
B
Of smoke, whisky and wine
F#
As we fill up our lungs
With the cold air of the night.
G#m
I walked her home,
B
Then she took me inside,
F#
Finish some Doritos
E
And another bottle of wine.
C#m7
I swear I’m going to put you
B
In a song that I write
F#
About a Galway Girl
And a perfect night.
