Chorus:
C#m E
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
B Aadd9 A
But she fell in love with an English man,
Aadd9
Kissed her on the neck
E
And then I took her by the hand,
B
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
C#m
I met her on Grafton Street
E
Right outside of the bar,
B
She shared a cigarette with me
A
While her brother played the guitar.
C#m
She asked me what does it mean,
E
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
B
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
Eadd9
Do you want to drink on?
C#m E
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
B
She got Arthur on the table
A F#m7
With Johnny riding as shot gun,
Chatted some more,
E
One more drink at the bar,
B
Then put Van on the jukebox,
Got up to dance, you know.
Chorus:
A E
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
B A
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck
E
And then I took her by the hand,
B
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance
A E B C#m
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
A E B C#m
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
C#m
You know, she beat me at darts
E
And then she beat me at pool,
B
And then she kissed me
A
Like there was nobody else in the room.
C#m
As last orders were called,
E
Was when she stood on the stool
B
After dancing to céilí,
Eadd9
Singing to trad tunes.
C#m
I never heard Carrickfergus
E
Ever sung so sweet,
B
A cappella in the bar
A
Using her feet for a beat,
F#m7
Oh, I could have that voice
E
Playing on repeat for a week,
B
And in this packed out room swear
She was singing to me, you know.
Chorus:
A E
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
B A
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck
E
And then I took her by the hand,
B
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
A E
My pretty little Galway Girl,
B C#m
My, my, my, my,
A E
My, my, my Galway Girl,
B C#m
My, my, my, my,
A E
My, my, my Galway Girl,
B C#m
My, my, my, my,
A E B C#m
My, my, my Galway Girl.
C#m
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome
E
And it’s closing time,
B
I was holding her hand,
A
Her hand was holding mine.
C#m
Our coats both smell
E
Of smoke, whisky and wine
B
As we fill up our lungs
With the cold air of the night.
C#m
I walked her home,
E
Then she took me inside,
B
Finish some Doritos
A
And another bottle of wine.
F#m7
I swear I’m going to put you
E
In a song that I write
B
About a Galway Girl
And a perfect night.

My, my, my, my,

My, my, my Galway Girl,

My, my, my, my,
