Galway Girl

[Intro]
    Em7               G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        D            Cadd9
But she fell in love with an English man
      Cadd9                    G
Kissed     her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
         D
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"

[Verse 1]
             Em7            G
I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
             D                       Cadd9
She shared a cigarette with me while her  brother played
the guitar
             Em7                   G
She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?
            D
Said it was one of my friend's songs do you want to drink
   Cadd9
on?
         Em7           G
She took Jamie as a chaser,
Jack for the fun
        D
She got Arthur on the table,
Cadd9
with Johnny riding as shot gun
Am
  Chatted some more,
G
one more drink at the bar
         D
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance,
you know

[Pre-Chorus]
    Cadd9             G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        D            Cadd9
But she fell in love with an English man
      Cadd9                    G
Kissed     her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
         D
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
                      Cadd9 G
With my pretty little Galway Girl

[Chorus]
D Em7                        Cadd9 G
     You're my pretty little Galway Girl

[Verse 2]
D
Em7             Em7                  G
   You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at
pool
             D                          Cadd9
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the
room
        Em7
As last orders were called,
    G
was when she stood on the stool
      D
After dancing to Cèilidh,
                     Cadd9
singing to trad tunes
        Em7                 G
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
   D                 Cadd9
Acapella in the bar using her feet for a beat
           Am                      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,
you know

[Pre-Chorus]
    Cadd9             G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        D            Cadd9
But she fell in love with an English man
      Cadd9                    G
Kissed     her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
         D
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
                 Cadd9 G
My pretty little Galway girl

[Chorus]
D        Em7            Cadd9 G
 My my my   my my my my Galway girl
D        Em7            Cadd9 G
 My my my   my my my my Galway girl
D        Em7            Cadd9 G
 My my my   my my my my Galway girl

[Verse 3]
D
Em7              Em7                   G
   And now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing
time
      D
I was holding her hand,
    Cadd9
her hand was holding mine
    Em7                 G
Our coats both smell of smoke,
whisky and wine
      D                                               Cadd9
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
 Em7                G
I   walked her home then she took me inside
       D                 Cadd9
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
  Am                         G
I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write
        D
About a Galway girl and a perfect night

[Pre-Chorus]
    Em7        G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        D                    Cadd9
But she fell in love with an English man
      Cadd9                           G
Kissed     her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
         D
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance"
                 Cadd9 G
My pretty little Galway girl

[Chorus]
D        Em7            Cadd9 G
 My my my   my my my my Galway girl
D        Em7            Cadd9 G
 My my my   my my my my Galway girl
D        Em7            Cadd9 G    D Em7
 My my my   my my my my Galway girl

[Outro]
