Galway Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]She played the fiddle in [D]an Irish band
But she fell in love with an [Em]English man
[G]Kissed her on the neck and then I
[D]took her by the hand
[Bm]Said, "Baby, I just [Em]want to dance"
I met her on Grafton [G]street
right outside of the bar
She shared a [D]ci garette with me while
her brother [C]played the guitar
She asked me [Em]what does it mean,
[G]the 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 [G]chaser,
Jack for the fun
[D]She got Arthur on the table
with Johnny [C]riding a shotgun
[Am]Chatted some more,
[G]one more drink at the bar
[D]Then put Van on the jukebox,
got up to dance
You know, she [C]played the
fiddle in an [G]Irish band
But she [D]fell in love with [C]an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I
[G]took her by the hand
[D]Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
With my pretty little [C]Galway [G]Girl
[D]My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my,
my [C]Gal[G]way [D]Girl[Em]
You know she beat [G]me at darts
and then she beat me at pool
[Em]And then she kisse[D]d me like ther[C]e was
nobody else in the room
As last [Em]orders were called was when
she [G]stood on the stool
[Em]After danc[D]ing to
Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
[Em]I never heard Carrickfergu[G]s
ever sang so sweet
A capel[D]la in the [C]bar using
her feet for a beat
Oh, I could [Am]have that voice
[G]playing on repeat for a week
And in this [D]packed out room
swear she was singing to me
You know, she [C]played the
[G]fiddle in an Irish band
But she [D]fell in love with [C]an English man
Kissed her on the [G]neck and then
I took her by the hand
[D]Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
My pretty little [C]Gal[G]way Girl
[D]My, my, my,[Em] my, my, my, my Gal[C]way [G]Girl
[D]My, my, my,[Em] my, my, my,
my [C]Gal[G]way Girl
[D]My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my,
my [C]Gal[G]way [D]Girl[Em]
And now we've outstayed our
[G]welcome and it's closing time
I [D]was holding her [Em]hand,
her hand was holding mine
Our [C]coats both smell [G]of smoke,
whisky and wine
As we fill up our lungs with
the cold air of the night
[D]I w[Em]alked her home [G]then she
took me inside
To finish [D]some [C]Doritos and
another bottle of wine
I [D]swear I'm gonna [G]put you
in a song that I write
About a [D]Galway [G]Girl and a [Em]perfect night
[D]She pla[Em]yed the fiddle in an Irish ban[G]d
But she [D]fell in love with [C]an English man
Kissed her on the neck and then I
[G]took her by the hand
[D]Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
With my pretty little [C]Gal[G]way Girl
[D]My, my, my, my, [Em]my, my, my G[C]al[G]way Girl
[D]My, my, my, my, my,[Em] my, my Gal[C]way Girl[G]
[D]My, my, my, my,[Em] my, my,
my [C]Gal[G]way [D]Girl[Em][C]
[G]Ooooo[D][Em][C][G][D][Em]
[C]h[G][D][Em]
[C][G][D]
