She [Am]played the fiddle
[C]in an Irish band
But she [G]fell in love
[F]with an English man
[F]Kissed her on the neck
and [C]then I took her by the hand
Said [G]baby I just want to dance
I met her on [Am]Grafton street
[C]right outside of the bar
She shared a [G]cigarette with me
while her [F]brother played the guitar
She asked me [Am]what does it mean
the [C]Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was [G]one of my friend’s songs
do you [F]want to drink on ? She took
[Am]Jamie as a cha[C]ser Jack for the fun
She got [G]Arthur on the table
[F]with Johnny riding as a shotgun
[Am]Chatted some more
[C]one more drink at the bar
Then put [G]Van on the jukebox
got up to dance, you know
(Chorus)
She [Am]played the fiddle
[C]in an Irish band
But she [G]fell in love
[F]with an English man
[F]Kissed her on the neck
and [C]then I took her by the hand
Said [G]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [F]Galway [C]Girl [G] [Am]
You’re my pretty little [F]Galway [C]Girl [G] [Am]
You know she [Am]beat me at darts
and [C]then she beat me at pool
And then she [G]kissed me like
there was no[F]body else in the room
As last [Am]orders were called
was [C]when she stood on the stool
After [G]dancing to Ceilidh
singing to trad tunes
I never [Am]heard Carrickfer[C]gus
ever sing so sweet
A ca[G]pella in the bar u[F]sing
her feet for the beat
Oh, I could [Am]have that voice
play[C]ing on repeat for a week
And in this [G]packed out room
swear she was singing to me
(Chorus)
She [Am]played the fiddle
[C]in an Irish band
But she [G]fell in love
[F]with an English man
[F]Kissed her on the neck
and [C]then I took her by the hand
Said [G]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [F]Galway [C]Girl
[G] Mymy, my[Am]my, mymymy [F]Galway [C]Girl
[G] Mymy, my[Am]my, mymymy [F]Galway [C]Girl
[G] Mymy, my[Am]my, mymymy [F]Galway [C]Girl [G] [Am]
Now we’ve [Am]outstayed our welcome
and [C]it’s closing time
I [G]was holding her hand
her [F]hand was holding mine
Our [Am]coats both smell of
s[C]moke, whisky and wine
As we [G]fill up our lungs
with the cold air of the night
I [Am]walked her home
[C]then she took me inside
Finish [G]some Doritos
and a[F]nother bottle of wine
I [Am]swear I’m going to put you
[C]in a song that I write
About a [G]Galway Girl and a perfect night
(Chorus)
She [Am]played the fiddle
[C]in an Irish band
But she [G]fell in love
[F]with an English man
[F]Kissed her on the neck
and [C]then I took her by the hand
Said [G]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [F]Galway [C]Girl
[G] Mymy, my[Am]my, mymymy [F]Galway [C]Girl
[G] Mymy, my[Am]my, mymymy [F]Galway [C]Girl
[G] Mymy, my[Am]my, mymymy [F]Galway [C]Girl [G] [Am]
