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"

              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                                                 D
Said it was one of my friend's songs do you want to drink on?

          Em7                G
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
        D                          Cadd9
She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding as shot gun
 Em7                    G
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
      D
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

      Em7             G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band

                       Cadd9 G    D Em7
With my pretty little Galway Girl
                         Cadd9 G    D Em7
You're my pretty little Galway Girl

              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                          G
As last orders were called, was when she stood on the stool
       D
After dancing to Cèilidh, 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
            Em7             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

      Em7             G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
         D            Cadd9

D     Em7             Cadd9 G    D Em7
My my my my my my my Galway girl

              Em7               G
Now we've outstayed our welcome and it's closing time
      D                  Cadd9
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
     Em7                 G
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
       D                                               D
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
             Em7             G
I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write
         D
About a Galway girl and a perfect night

      Em7             G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
