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 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 ( C G D Em )
