    [Intro Chorus]
    Em G
    She played the fiddle in an Irish band
    D Cadd9
    But she fell in love with an English man
    Cadd9 G
    Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
    D
    Said baby I just want to dance
    [Verse 1]
    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 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 a shotgun
    Am7 G
    Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
    D
    Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know
    [Chorus 1]
    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
    Cadd9 G D Em
    With my pretty little Galway Girl
    Cadd9 G D Em
    You’re my pretty little Galway Girl
    [Verse 2]
    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 G
    After dancing to Ceili singing to trad tunes
    Em G
    I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
    D C
    A cappella in the bar using her feet for the beat
    Am7 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
    [Chorus 2]
    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
    Cadd9 G
    With my pretty little Galway Girl
    D Em Cadd9 G
    My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
    D Em Cadd9 G
    My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
    D Em Cadd9 G D Em
    My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
    [Verse 3]
    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
    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
    [Chorus 3]
    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
    Cadd9 G
    With my pretty little Galway Girl
    D Em Cadd9 G
    My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
    D Em Cadd9 G
    My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
    D Em Cadd9 G D Em
    My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
