Galway Girl

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