She [F#m]played the fiddle in [A]an Irish band

But she [E]fell in love [D]with an English man

[Bm7]Kissed her on the neck [A]and then I took her by the hand

Said, [E]"Baby, I just want to dance"

 

I met her on [F#m]Grafton street right [A]outside of the bar

She shared a [E]cigarette with me [D]while her brother played the guitar

She asked me [Bm7]what does it mean the [A]Gaelic ink on your arm?

Said it was [E]one of my friend's songs do you want to drink on?

 

She took [F#m]Jamie as a [A]chaser, Jack for the fun

She got [E]Arthur on the table, with [D]Johnny riding as shot gun

[Bm7]Chatted some more, [A]one more drink at the bar

Then put [E]Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

 

She [D]played the fiddle in [A]an Irish band

But she [E]fell in love [D]with an English man

[D]Kissed her on the neck [A]and then I took her by the hand

Said, [E]"Baby, I just want to dance"

 

With my pretty little [D]Galway [A]Girl[E]　[F#m]

You're my pretty little [D]Galway [A]Girl[E]　[F#m]

 

You know she [F#m]beat me at darts and [A]then she beat me at pool

And then she [E]kissed me like there was [D]nobody else in the room

As last [Bm7]orders were called, was [A]when she stood on the stool

After [E]dancing to Ceilidh, singing to trad tunes

I never [F#m]heard Carrickfergus [A]ever sung so sweet

[E]Acapella in the bar [D]using her feet for a beat

Oh I could [Bm7]have that voice playing [A]on repeat for a week

And in this [E]packed out room, swear she was singing to me, you know

 

She [D]played the fiddle in [A]an Irish band

But she [E]fell in love [D]with an English man

[D]Kissed her on the neck [A]and then I took her by the hand

Said, [E]"Baby, I just want to dance"

 

My pretty little [D]Galway [A]girl

[E]My my my [F#m]my my my my [D]Galway [A]girl

[E]My my my [F#m]my my my my [D]Galway [A]girl

[E]My my my [F#m]my my my my [D]Galway [A]girl[E]　[F#m]

 

Now we've [F#m]outstayed our welcome [A]and it's closing time

I was [E]holding her hand, her [D]hand was holding mine

Our [F#m]coats both smell of [A]smoke, whisky and wine

As we [E]fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night

 

I [F#m]walked her home [A]then she took me inside

[E]Finish some Doritos and [D]another bottle of wine

I [F#m]swear I'm going to put you with in a song that I write

About a [E]Galway girl and a perfect night

 

She [F#m]played the fiddle in [A]an Irish band

But she [E]fell in love [D]with an English man

[D]Kissed her on the neck [A]and then I took her by the hand

Said, [E]"Baby, I just want to dance"

 

My pretty little [D]Galway [A]girl

[E]My my my [F#m]my my my my [D]Galway [A]girl

[E]My my my [F#m]my my my my [D]Galway [A]girl

[E]My my my [F#m]my my my my [D]Galway [A]girl[E]　[F#m]

[D]　[A]　[E]　[F#m]　[D]　[A]　[E]　[F#m]
