Chorus
[F#m] [A]
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
[E] [D]
But she fell in love with an English man
[F#m] [A]
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
[E]
Said baby I just want to dance
Verse
[F#m] [A]
I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
[E] [D]
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
[F#m] [A]
She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?
[E] N.C.
Said it was one of my friend’s songs do you want to drink on?
[F#m] [A]
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
[E] [D]
She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as a shotgun
[F#m] [A]
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
[E]
Then put Van on the jukebox, got to dance, you know
Chorus
[F#m] [A]
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
[E] [D]
But she fell in love with an English man
[F#m] [A]
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
[E]
Said baby I just want to dance
[F#m] [A] [E] [D]
With my pretty little Galway Girl
[F#m] [A] [E] [D]
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl
Verse
[F#m] [A]
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
[E] [F#m]
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
[F#m] [A]
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
[E] N.C.
After dancing to Céilí singing to trad tunes
[F#m] [A]
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
[E] [F#m]
A capella in the bar using her feet for the beat
[F#m] [A]
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
[E]
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me
Chorus
[F#m] [A]
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
[E] [D]
But she fell in love with an English man
[F#m] [A]
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
[E]
Said baby I just want to dance
[F#m] [A] [E] [D]
With my pretty little Galway Girl
[E] [F#m] [D] [A]
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[E] [F#m] [D] [A]
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[E] [F#m] [D] [A] [E] [F#m]
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
Verse
[F#m] [A]
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time
[E] [F#m]
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
[F#m] [A]
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
[E]
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
[F#m] [A]
I walked her home then she took me inside
[E] [F#m]
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
[F#m] [A]
I swear I’m going to put you in a song that I write
[E]
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night
Chorus
[F#m] [A]
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
[E] [D]
But she fell in love with an English man
[F#m] [A]
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
[E]
Said baby I just want to dance
[F#m] [A]
With my pretty little Galway Girl
[E] [F#m] [D] [A]
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[E] [F#m] [D] [A]
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
