Capo di fret 2
Em
She played the fiddle
G
in an Irish band
D
But she fell in love
C
with an English man
C
Kissed her on the neck
G
and then I took her by the hand
D
Said baby I just want to dance
Em
I met her on Grafton street
G
right outside of the bar
D
She shared a cigarette with me
C
while her brother played the guitar
Em
She asked me what does it mean
G
the Gaelic ink on your arm?
D
Said it was one of my friend's songs
C
do you want to drink on ? She took
EmG
Jamie as a chaser Jack for the fun
D
She got Arthur on the table
C
with Johnny riding as a shotgun
Em
Chatted some more
G
one more drink at the bar
D
Then put Van on the jukebox
got up to dance, you know
(Chorus)
Em
She played the fiddle
G
in an Irish band
D
But she fell in love
C
with an English man

Kissed her on the neck
G
and then I took her by the hand
D
Said baby I just want to dance
CGDEm
With my pretty little Galway Girl
CGDEm
You're my pretty little Galway Girl
Em
You know she beat me at darts
G
and then she beat me at pool
D
And then she kissed me like
C
there was nobody else in the room
Em
As last orders were called
G
was when she stood on the stool
D
After dancing to Ceilidh
singing to trad tunes
EmG
I never heard Carrickfergus
ever sing so sweet
DC
A capella in the bar using
her feet for the beat
Em
Oh, I could have that voice
G
playing on repeat for a week
D
And in this packed out room
swear she was singing to me
(Chorus)
Em
She played the fiddle
G
in an Irish band
D
But she fell in love
C
with an English man
C
Kissed her on the neck
G
and then I took her by the hand

Said baby I just want to dance

Em
Now we've outstayed our welcome
G
and it's closing time
D
I was holding her hand
C
her hand was holding mine
Em
Our coats both smell of
G
smoke, whisky and wine
D
As we fill up our lungs
with the cold air of the night
Em
I walked her home
G
then she took me inside
D
Finish some Doritos
C
and another bottle of wine
Em
I swear I'm going to put you
G
in a song that I write
D
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night
(Chorus)
Em
She played the fiddle
G
in an Irish band
D
But she fell in love
C
with an English man

Kissed her on the neck

and then I took her by the hand
