[CHORUS]

Em Em G G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
D D C C
But she fell in love with an English man
C C G G
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
D D
Said baby I just want to dance


[VERSE]

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


[CHORUS]

C C G G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
D D C C
But she fell in love with an English man
C C G G
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
D D
Said baby I just want to dance
C C G G D D Em Em
With my pretty little Galway Girl
C C G G D D Em Em
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl


[VERSE]

Em Em G G
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
D D C C
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
Em Em G G
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
D D N.C.
After dancing to C Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
Em Em G G
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sing so sweet
D D C C
A A capella in the bar using her feet for the beat
Em Em G G
Oh, I could have that voice playing on repeat for a week
D D
And in this packed out room swear she was singing to me


[CHORUS]

C C G G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
D D C C
But she fell in love with an English man
C C G G
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
D D
Said baby I just want to dance
C C G G
With my pretty little Galway Girl
D D Em Em C C G G
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
D D Em Em C C G G
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
D D Em Em C C G G D D Em Em
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl


[VERSE]

Em Em G G
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time
D D C C
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
Em Em G G
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
D D N.C
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night
Em Em G G
I walked her home then she took me inside
D D C C
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
Em Em G G
I swear I’m going to put you in a song that I write
D D
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night


[CHORUS]

C C G G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
D D C C
But she fell in love with an English man
C C G G
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
D D
Said baby I just want to dance
C C G G
With my pretty little Galway Girl
D D Em Em C C G G
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
D D Em Em C C G G
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
D D Em Em C C G G D D Em Em
My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

I'd suggest transposing +2 or using capo at the 2nd fret

just listen to the song or experiment, why would you need someone to tell you how to strum?
