Note:
There are some differences between this tab and the ones who are already have been published. The Cadd9
is only played occasionally, most of time (verses) it should be just a normal C chord. Also an Am7 has been
added in the verse. Half way the verses there is a break on the D that should be followed by a G chord.

[Intro Chorus]
    Em                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]
             Em             G
I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar
             D                       C
She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar
             Em                    G
She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm?
            D                                                G
Said it was one of my friend’s songs do you want to drink on?

         Em            G
She took Jamie as a chaser, Jack for the fun
        D                    C
She got Arthur on the table, with Johnny riding a shotgun
Am7                G
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
         D
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

[Chorus 1]
    C                 G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        D            C
But she fell in love with an English man
C                          G
Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand
     D
Said baby I just want to dance
                      Cadd9 G     D     Em
With my pretty little Galway Girl
                        Cadd9 G     D     Em
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl

[Verse 2]
             Em                   G
You know she beat me at darts and then she beat me at pool
             D                          C
And then she kissed me like there was nobody else in the room
        Em                     G
As last orders were called was when she stood on the stool
      D                                     G
After dancing to Ceili singing to trad tunes

        Em                  G
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sung so sweet
     D                  C
A cappella in the bar using her feet for the beat
            Am7                     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

[Chorus 2]
    C                 G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        D            C
But she fell in love with an English man
C                          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
D           Em              Cadd9 G
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
D           Em              Cadd9 G
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
D           Em              Cadd9 G    D  Em
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

[Verse 3]
          Em                    G
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome and it’s closing time
     D                      C
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine
    Em                  G
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine
      D
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night

 Em               G
I walked her home then she took me inside
       D                 C
Finish some Doritos and another bottle of wine
  Em                         G
I swear I’m going to put you in a song that I write
        D
About a Galway Girl and a perfect night

[Chorus 3]
    Em                G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        D            C
But she fell in love with an English man
C                          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
D           Em              Cadd9 G
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
D           Em              Cadd9 G
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
D           Em              Cadd9 G    D  Em
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
