Galway Girl

She (F#m)played the fiddle (A)in an Irish band,

but she (E)fell in love (D)with an English man.

Kissed her on the neck and (A)then I took her by the hand,

said, "Baby, I just wanna dance."

I met her on (F#m)Grafton Street,

(A)right outside of the bar.

She shared a (E)cigarette with me while (D)her brother played the guitar.

She asked me, (F#m)"What does it mean,

the (A)Gaelic ink on your arm?"

Said, "It was one of my friend's songs.

Do you wanna drink on?"

She took (F#m)Jamie as a (A)chaser,

Jack for the fun;

she got (E)Arthur on the table (D)with John riding the shotgun.

(Bm)Chatted some more, (A)one more drink at the bar,

then put (E)Van on the jukebox,

got up to dance.

You know, she (D)played her fiddle (A)in an Irish band,

but she (E)fell in love (D)with an English man.

Kissed her on the neck and (A)then I took her by the hand,

said, "Baby, I just wanna dance with my pretty little (D)Galway (A)girl;

(F#m)you're my pretty little (D)Galway (A)girl."

(F#m)You know, she beat me at darts,

and (A)then she beat me at pool,

and then she (E)kissed me like there was (D)nobody else in the room.

As last (F#m)orders were called was (A)when she stood on the stool,

after (E)dancing to Cèilidh, singing to trad tunes.

I never (F#m)heard "Carrickfergus" (A)ever sung so sweet;

a (E)cappella in the bar, (D)using her feet for a beat.

Oh, I could (Bm)have that voice playing (A)on repeat for a week.

And in this (E)packedout room, swear she was singing to me.

You know, she (D)played her fiddle (A)in an Irish band,

but she (E)fell in love (D)with an English man.

Kissed her on the neck and (A)then I took her by the hand,

said, "Baby, I just wanna dance,

my pretty little (D)Galway (A)girl,

(E)my my my (F#m)my my my my (D)Galway (A)girl,

(E)my my my (F#m)my my my my (D)Galway (A)girl,

(E)my my my (F#m)my my my my (D)Galway (A)girl."

(E)my my my (F#m)my my my my
