Chorus:
Gm Bb
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
F D#add9 D#
But she fell in love with an English man,
D#add9
Kissed her on the neck
Bb
And then I took her by the hand,
F
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
Gm
I met her on Grafton Street
Bb
Right outside of the bar,
F
She shared a cigarette with me
D#
While her brother played the guitar.
Gm
She asked me what does it mean,
Bb
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
F
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
Bbadd9
Do you want to drink on?
Gm Bb
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
F
She got Arthur on the table
D# Cm7
With Johnny riding as shot gun,
Chatted some more,
Bb
One more drink at the bar,
F
Then put Van on the jukebox,
Got up to dance, you know.
Chorus:

And then I took her by the hand,
F
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance
D# Bb F Gm
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
D# Bb F Gm
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
Gm
You know, she beat me at darts
Bb
And then she beat me at pool,
F
And then she kissed me
D#
Like there was nobody else in the room.
Gm
As last orders were called,
Bb
Was when she stood on the stool
F
After dancing to céilí,
Bbadd9
Singing to trad tunes.
Gm
I never heard Carrickfergus
Bb
Ever sung so sweet,
F
A cappella in the bar
D#
Using her feet for a beat,
Cm7
Oh, I could have that voice
Bb
Playing on repeat for a week,
F
And in this packed out room swear
She was singing to me, you know.

My pretty little Galway Girl,

My, my, my, my,

My, my, my, my,
D# Bb
My, my, my Galway Girl,
F Gm
My, my, my, my,
D# Bb F Gm
My, my, my Galway Girl.
Gm
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome
Bb
And it’s closing time,
F
I was holding her hand,
D#
Her hand was holding mine.
Gm
Our coats both smell
Bb
Of smoke, whisky and wine
F
As we fill up our lungs
With the cold air of the night.
Gm
I walked her home,
Bb
Then she took me inside,
F
Finish some Doritos
D#
And another bottle of wine.
Cm7
I swear I’m going to put you
Bb
In a song that I write
F
About a Galway Girl
And a perfect night.
