Chorus:
Bm D
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
A Gadd9 G
But she fell in love with an English man,
Gadd9
Kissed her on the neck
D
And then I took her by the hand,
A
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
Bm
I met her on Grafton Street
D
Right outside of the bar,
A
She shared a cigarette with me
G
While her brother played the guitar.
Bm
She asked me what does it mean,
D
The Gaelic ink on your arm?
A
Said it was one of my friend’s songs,
Dadd9
Do you want to drink on?
Bm D
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun,
A
She got Arthur on the table
G Em7
With Johnny riding as shot gun,
Chatted some more,
D
One more drink at the bar,
A
Then put Van on the jukebox,
Got up to dance, you know.
Chorus:
G D
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
A G
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck
D
And then I took her by the hand,
A
Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance
G D A Bm
With my pretty little Galway Girl.”
G D A Bm
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl.
Bm
You know, she beat me at darts
D
And then she beat me at pool,
A
And then she kissed me
G
Like there was nobody else in the room.
Bm
As last orders were called,
D
Was when she stood on the stool
A
After dancing to céilí,
Dadd9
Singing to trad tunes.
Bm
I never heard Carrickfergus
D
Ever sung so sweet,
A
A cappella in the bar
G
Using her feet for a beat,
Em7
Oh, I could have that voice
D
Playing on repeat for a week,
A
And in this packed out room swear
She was singing to me, you know.
Chorus:
G D
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
A G
But she fell in love with an English man,
Kissed her on the neck

And then I took her by the hand,

Said, “Baby, I just wanna dance.”
G D
My pretty little Galway Girl,
A Bm
My, my, my, my,
G D
My, my, my Galway Girl,
A Bm
My, my, my, my,
G D
My, my, my Galway Girl,
A Bm
My, my, my, my,
G D A Bm
My, my, my Galway Girl.
Bm
And now we’ve outstayed our welcome
D
And it’s closing time,
A
I was holding her hand,
G
Her hand was holding mine.
Bm
Our coats both smell
D
Of smoke, whisky and wine
A
As we fill up our lungs
With the cold air of the night.
Bm
I walked her home,
D
Then she took me inside,
A
Finish some Doritos
G
And another bottle of wine.
Em7
I swear I’m going to put you
D
In a song that I write
A
About a Galway Girl
And a perfect night.

My, my, my, my,

My, my, my Galway Girl.
