Galway Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
She [Em]played the fiddle [G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love [C]with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and
[G]then I took her by the hand
Said, [D]"Baby, I just wanna dance"

[Verse 1]
I met her on [Em]Grafton street
[G]right outside of the bar
She shared a [D]cigarette with me
while [C]her brother played the guitar
She asked me, [Em]"What does it mean,
the [G]Gaelic ink on your arm?"
Said, "It was [D]one of my friend's songs,
do you want to drink on?"
She took [Em]Jamie as a cha[G]ser, Jack for the fun
She got [D]Arthur on the table
[C]with Johnny riding as shotgun
[Am]Chatted some more,
[G]one more drink at the bar
Then put [D]Van on the jukebox, got up to dance

[Chorus 1]
You know, she [C]played her fiddle
[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love [C]with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and
[G]then I took her by the hand
Said, [D]"Baby, I just wanna dance"
With my pretty little [C]Gal[G]way [D]girl[Em]
You're my pretty little [C]Gal[G]way [D]girl[Em]

[Verse 2]
You know she [Em]beat me at darts
and [G]then she beat me at pool
And then she [D]kissed me like there
was no[C]body else in the room
As last [Em]orders were called
was [G]when she stood on the stool
After [D]dancing to Kaleigh, singing to trad tunes
I never [Em]heard Carrickfergus
[G]ever sung so sweet
Aca[D]pella in the bar [C]using her feet for a beat
Oh, I could [Am]have that voice
playing [G]on repeat for a week
And in this [D]packed out room swear she
was singing to me

[Chorus 2]
You know, she [C]played her fiddle
[G]in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love [C]with an English man
Kissed her on the neck and
[G]then I took her by the hand
Said, [D]"Baby, I just wanna dance"
My pretty little [C]Gal[G]way girl
[D]My, my, my,[Em] my, my, my, my,
[C]Gal[G]way girl
[D]My, my, my,[Em] my, my, my, my,
[C]Gal[G]way girl
[D]My, my, my,[Em] my, my, my, my,
[C]Gal[G]way [D]girl[Em]

[Bridge 1]
And now we've [Em]outstayed
our welcome [G]and it's closing time
I [D]was holding her hand,
her [C]hand was holding mine
Our [Em]coats both smell of [G]smoke,
whisky and wine
As we [D]fill up our lungs
with the cold air of the night, I
[Em]walked her home,
[G]then she took me inside
To finish [D]some Doritos
and [C]another bottle of wine
I [Em]swear I'm gonna put you [G]in a song that
I write
About a [D]Galway girl and a perfect night

[Chorus 3]
She [Em]played her fiddle
in an [G]Irish band
But she [D]fell in love with an [C]English man
Kissed her on the neck and
then I [G]took her by the hand
Said, [D]"Baby, I just wanna dance"
My pretty little [C]Gal[G]way girl
[D]My, my, my,[Em] my, my, my, my,
[C]Gal[G]way girl
[D]My, my, my,[Em] my, my, my, my,
[C]Gal[G]way girl
[D]My, my, my,[Em] my, my, my, my,
[C]Gal[G]way girl [D]hey[Em]
