Galway Girl

Capo 2

CHORUS:
Em                  G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
D                    Em
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

VERSE:
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                        NC
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

CHORUS:
C                   G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
D                  Em
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

VERSE:
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                             NC
After dancing to Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
Em                     G
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sing so sweet
D                      C
А 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

CHORUS:
C                   G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
D                  Em
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

VERSE:
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

CHORUS:
