Galway Girl

[Intro]
    D#m                
  She played the fiddle
      F#
in an Irish band
        C#            
  But she fell in love
        B
with an English man
B                          
  Kissed her on the neck and
  F#
then I took her by the hand
     C#
Said baby I just want to dance


[Verse]
             D#m
I met her on Grafton street
F#
right outside of the bar
             C#
She shared a cigarette with me
      B  
while her brother

played the guitar
             D#m
She asked me what does it mean
    F#
the Gaelic ink on your arm?
            C#  
Said it was one of

my friend’s songs
                        F#
do you want to drink on?


[Verse]
         D#m         
  She took Jamie as a
        F#
chaser, Jack for the fun
        C#
She got Arthur on the table,
B
with Johnny riding a shotgun
G#m                 F#  
Chatted some more, one

more drink at the bar
     C#  
Then put Van on the jukebox,

got up to dance, you know


[Chorus]
    B                 
  She played the fiddle
   F#
in an Irish band
        C#            
  But she fell in love
     B
with an English man
B                          
  Kissed her on the neck and
  F#
then I took her by the hand
     C#
Said baby I just want to dance
                      B      F#    C#  D#m
With my pretty little Galway Girl
                       
  You’re my pretty
  B      F#    C#  D#m
little Galway Girl


[Verse]
             D#m
You know she beat me at darts
    F#
and then she beat me at pool
             C#
And then she kissed me
                 B  
like there was nobody

else in the room
        D#m
As last orders were called
F#
was when she stood on the stool
      C#
After dancing to Ceili
                     F#
singing to trad tunes


[Verse]
        D#m                  
  I never heard Carrickfergus
    F#
ever sung so sweet
    C#                    B  
A capella in the bar using

her feet for the beat
            G#m
Oh, I could have that voice
       F#
playing on repeat for a week
            C#
And in this packed out room swear

she was singing to me


[Chorus]
    B                 
  She played the fiddle
   F#
in an Irish band
        C#            
  But she fell in love
     B
with an English man
B                          
  Kissed her on the neck and
  F#
then I took her by the hand
     C#
Said baby I just want to dance


[Bridge]
                      B      F#    C#
With my pretty little Galway Girl
                D#m  
  My, my, my, my, my,
        B      F#    C#
my, my Galway Girl
                D#m  
  My, my, my, my, my,
        B      F#    C#
my, my Galway Girl
                D#m  
  My, my, my, my, my,
        B      F#    C#  D#m
my, my Galway Girl


[Verse]
          D#m                   F#  
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome

and it’s closing time
      C#                 
  I was holding her hand,
          B
her hand was holding mine
    D#m               
  Our coats both smell
   F#
of smoke, whisky and wine
      C#  
As we fill up our lungs with

the cold air of the night


[Verse]
  D#m              F#  
I walked her home then

she took me inside
       C#                
  Finish some Doritos and
  B
another bottle of wine
  D#m                       
  I swear I’m going to
   F#
put you in a song that I write
        C#  
About a Galway Girl

and a perfect night


[Chorus]
    B                 
  She played the fiddle
   F#
in an Irish band
        C#            
  But she fell in love
     B
with an English man
B                          
  Kissed her on the neck and
  F#
then I took her by the hand
     C#
Said baby I just want to dance
