Chorus:
D#m F#
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
C# Badd9 B
But she fell in love with an English man,
Badd9
Kissed her on the neck
F#
And then I took her by the hand,
C#
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
D#m
I met her on Grafton Street
F#
Right outside of the bar,
C#
She shared a cigarette with me
B
While her brother played the guitar.
D#m
She asked me what does it mean,
F#
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
C#
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
F#add9
Do you want to drink on?
D#m F#
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
C#
She got Arthur on the table
B G#m7
With Johnny riding as shot gun,
Chatted some more,
F#
One more drink at the bar,
C#
Then put Van on the jukebox,
Got up to dance, you know.
Chorus:
B F#
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
C# B
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck
F#
And then I took her by the hand,
C#
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance
B F# C# D#m
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
B F# C# D#m
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
D#m
You know, she beat me at darts
F#
And then she beat me at pool,
C#
And then she kissed me
B
Like there was nobody else in the room.
D#m
As last orders were called,
F#
Was when she stood on the stool
C#
After dancing to céilí,
F#add9
Singing to trad tunes.
D#m
I never heard Carrickfergus
F#
Ever sung so sweet,
C#
A cappella in the bar
B
Using her feet for a beat,
G#m7
Oh, I could have that voice
F#
Playing on repeat for a week,
C#
And in this packed out room swear
She was singing to me, you know.
Chorus:
B F#
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
C# B
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck
F#
And then I took her by the hand,
C#

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

My pretty little Galway Girl,

My, my, my Galway Girl,
