She played the fiddle in an Irish band

But she fell in love with an English man

Kissed her on the neck and then I took her by the hand

I met her on Grafton street right outside of the bar

She shared a cigarette with me while her brother played the guitar

She asked me what does it mean the Gaelic ink on your arm
D N.C.
Said it was one of my friend’s songs do you want to drink on

With my pretty little Galway Girl
C G D Em

[VERSE]
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 N.C.
After dancing to Cèilidh singing to trad tunes
Em G
I never heard Carrickfergus ever sing so sweet
D C
A capella in the bar using her feet for the beat
Em 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
[CHORUS]
C G
She played the fiddle in an Irish band

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 N.C
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
