Chorus:
Dm F
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
C Bbadd9 Bb
But she fell in love with an English man,
Bbadd9
Kissed her on the neck
F
And then I took her by the hand,
C
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
Dm
I met her on Grafton Street
F
Right outside of the bar,
C
She shared a cigarette with me
Bb
While her brother played the guitar.
Dm
She asked me what does it mean,
F
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
C
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
Fadd9
Do you want to drink on?
Dm F
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
C
She got Arthur on the table
Bb Gm7
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:
Bb F
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
C Bb
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
Bb F C Dm
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
Bb F C Dm
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
Dm
You know, she beat me at darts
F
And then she beat me at pool,
C
And then she kissed me
Bb
Like there was nobody else in the room.
Dm
As last orders were called,
F
Was when she stood on the stool
C
After dancing to céilí,
Fadd9
Singing to trad tunes.
Dm
I never heard Carrickfergus
F
Ever sung so sweet,
C
A cappella in the bar
Bb
Using her feet for a beat,
Gm7
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.

Bb F
She played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck

Bb F
My pretty little Galway Girl,
C Dm
My, my, my, my,
Bb F
My, my, my Galway Girl,
C Dm
My, my, my, my,
Bb F
My, my, my Galway Girl,
C Dm
My, my, my, my,
Bb F C Dm
My, my, my Galway Girl.
Dm
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome
F
And it’s closing time,
C
I was holding her hand,
Bb
Her hand was holding mine.
Dm
Our coats both smell
F
Of smoke, whisky and wine
C
As we fill up our lungs
With the cold air of the night.
Dm
I walked her home,
F
Then she took me inside,
C
Finish some Doritos
Bb
And another bottle of wine.
Gm7
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, my, my Galway Girl.
