[Chorus]
D A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
E F#m
But she fell in love with an English man
D A
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
E F#m
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
[Verse 1]
D A
I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
E F#m
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
D A
She asked me what does it mean, the Gaelic ink on your arm?
E F#m
Said it was one of my friend's songs, do you want to drink on?
D A
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
E F#m
She got Arthur on the table with Johnny riding a shotgun
D A
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
E F#m
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance
[Chorus]
D A
You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
E F#m
But she fell in love with an English man
D A
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
E F#m
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
D A
With my pretty little Galway Girl
E F#m
You're my pretty little Galway Girl
[Verse 2]
D 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
D A
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
E F#m
After dancing the céili singing to trad tunes
D A
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
E F#m
A cappella in the bar using her feet for a beat
D A
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
E F#m
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me
[Chorus]
D A
You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
E F#m
But she fell in love with an English man
D A
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
E F#m
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
D A
With my pretty little Galway Girl
E F#m
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E F#m
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E F#m
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
[Verse 3]
D A
And now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
E F#m
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
D A
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
E F#m
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
D A
I walked her home then she took me inside
E F#m
To finish some Doritos and a bottle of wine
D A
I swear I'm gonna put you in a song that I write
E F#m
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night
[Chorus]
D A
You know, she played the fiddle in an Irish band
E F#m
But she fell in love with an English man
D A
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
E F#m
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
D A
With my pretty little Galway Girl
E F#m
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E F#m
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E F#m
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
