Galway Girl - Ed Sheeran

Capo 2nd fret

[Chorus 1]
   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

[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 N.C.
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 the shotgun
Em    G
Chatted some more, one more drink at the bar
D
Then put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

[Chorus 2]
   C    G
She played her 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
   C    G    D Em
With my pretty little Galway Girl
   C    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    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 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

[Chorus 3]
   C    G
She played her 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
   C    G
With my pretty little Galway Girl
D    Em C    G
My-my-my, my-my-my-my Galway Girl
D    Em C    G
My-my-my, my-my-my-my Galway Girl
D    Em C    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
Finished 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 4]
   C    G
She played her 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
C    G
My pretty little Galway Girl
D    Em C    G
My-my-my, my-my-my-my Galway Girl
D    Em C    G
My-my-my, my-my-my-my Galway Girl
D    Em C    G    D Em
My-my-my, my-my-my-my Galway Girl, hey!
