<b>Intro</b>

    Gbm                     A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band

        E                   D    
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
Said baby I just want to dance
 

<b>Verse</b>

             Gbm             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

             Gbm                    A
She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?

            E                                                A
Said it was one of my friend’s songs do you want to drink on?

           Gbm                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

Gbm                A
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar

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

     E

                      D      A     E     Gbm   
With my pretty little Galway Girl

                        D      A     E     Gbm
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl
 

<b>Verse</b>


             Gbm                   A
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool

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

        Gbm                 A
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool

      E                                     A  
After dancing to Ceili singing to trad tunes
 

        Gbm                     A
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet

    E                    D 
A capella in the bar using her feet for the beat

           Gbm                    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

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

<b>Verse</b>


          Gbm                   A
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time

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

    Gbm                 A
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine

      E
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
 
 
  Gbm              A
I walked her home then she took me inside

       E                 D 
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine

  Gbm                         A
I swear I’m going to put you in a song that I write

        E
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night
