Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl

[intro chorus]
    F#m                     A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        E                   Dadd9
But she fell in love with an English man
Dadd9
Kissed her on the neck and
A
then I took her by the hand
     E
Said baby I just want to dance

[verse 1]
             F#m
I met her on Grafton street
 A
right outside of the bar
             E
She shared a cigarette with me while
D
her brother played the guitar
             F#m
She asked me what does it mean the
 A
Gaelic ink on your arm?
            E
Said it was one of my friend’s songs
do you want to drink on?
         F#m
She took Jamie as a chaser,
A
Jack for the fun
        E
She got Arthur on the table,
D
with Johnny riding as a shotgun
Bm7
Chatted some more,
A
one more drink at the bar
E
Then put Van on the jukebox,
got to dance, you know

[chorus 1]
    D                   A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        E                D
But she fell in love with an English man
D
Kissed her on the neck and
A
then I took her by the hand
     E
Said baby I just want to dance
                      Dadd9  A     E  F#m
With my pretty little Galway Girl
                        Dadd9  A   E  F#m
You’re my pretty little Galway Girl

[verse 2]
             F#m
You know she beat me at darts and
 A
then she beat me at pool
             E
And then she kissed me like there was
  D
nobody else in the room
        F#m
As last orders were called
 A
was when she stood on the stool
      E                                     A
After dancing to Ceili singing to trad tunes
        F#m                 A
I never heard Carrickfergus ever
sung so sweet
    E
Acapella in the bar using
D
 her feet for the beat
            Bm7
Oh, I could have that voice playing
A
 on repeat for a week
And in this
E
packed out room swear she was singing to me

[chorus 2]
    D                   A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band
        E                D

     E

With my pretty little Galway Girl
E                F#m         Dadd9  A
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E                F#m         Dadd9  A
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
E                F#m
 My, my, my, my, my, my, my
Dadd9  A    E  F#m
Galway Girl

[verse 3]
          F#m
Now we’ve outstayed our welcome
A
and it’s closing time
      E
I was holding her hand, her hand
D
was holding mine
    F#m
Our coats both smell of
A
smoke, whisky and wine
      E
As we fill up our lungs with the
cold air of the night
  F#m              A
I walked her home then she took me inside
       E
Finish some Doritos and
 D
another bottle of wine
  F#m
I swear I’m going to put you
 A
in a song that I write
        E
A'out a Galway Girl and a perfect night

 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl

 My, my, my, my, my, my, my Galway Girl
