Capo di fret 2
She [Em]played the fiddle
[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love
[C]with an English man
[C]Kissed her on the neck
and [G]then I took her by the hand
Said [D]baby I just want to dance
I met her on [Em]Grafton street
[G]right outside of the bar
She shared a [D]cigarette with me
while her [C]brother played the guitar
She asked me [Em]what does it mean
the [G]Gaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was [D]one of my friend’s songs
do you [C]want to drink on ? She took
[Em]Jamie as a cha[G]ser Jack for the fun
She got [D]Arthur on the table
[C]with Johnny riding as a shotgun
[Em]Chatted some more
[G]one more drink at the bar
Then put [D]Van on the jukebox
got up to dance, you know
(Chorus)
She [Em]played the fiddle
[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love
[C]with an English man
[C]Kissed her on the neck
and [G]then I took her by the hand
Said [D]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [C]Galway [G]Girl [D] [Em]
You’re my pretty little [C]Galway [G]Girl [D] [Em]
You know she [Em]beat me at darts
and [G]then she beat me at pool
And then she [D]kissed me like
there was no[C]body else in the room
As last [Em]orders were called
was [G]when she stood on the stool
After [D]dancing to Ceilidh
singing to trad tunes
I never [Em]heard Carrickfer[G]gus
ever sing so sweet
A ca[D]pella in the bar u[C]sing
her feet for the beat
Oh, I could [Em]have that voice
play[G]ing on repeat for a week
And in this [D]packed out room
swear she was singing to me
(Chorus)
She [Em]played the fiddle
[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love
[C]with an English man
[C]Kissed her on the neck
and [G]then I took her by the hand
Said [D]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [C]Galway [G]Girl
[D] Mymy, my[Em]my, mymymy [C]Galway [G]Girl
[D] Mymy, my[Em]my, mymymy [C]Galway [G]Girl
[D] Mymy, my[Em]my, mymymy [C]Galway [G]Girl [D] [Em]
Now we’ve [Em]outstayed our welcome
and [G]it’s closing time
I [D]was holding her hand
her [C]hand was holding mine
Our [Em]coats both smell of
s[G]moke, whisky and wine
As we [D]fill up our lungs
with the cold air of the night
I [Em]walked her home
[G]then she took me inside
Finish [D]some Doritos
and a[C]nother bottle of wine
I [Em]swear I’m going to put you
[G]in a song that I write
About a [D]Galway Girl and a perfect night
(Chorus)
She [Em]played the fiddle
[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love
[C]with an English man
[C]Kissed her on the neck
and [G]then I took her by the hand
Said [D]baby I just want to dance
With my pretty little [C]Galway [G]Girl
[D] Mymy, my[Em]my, mymymy [C]Galway [G]Girl
[D] Mymy, my[Em]my, mymymy [C]Galway [G]Girl
[D] Mymy, my[Em]my, mymymy [C]Galway [G]Girl [D] [Em]
