But she ^Dfell in love with an ^CEnglish man
^CKissed her on the neck and ^Gthen I took her by the hand
Said b^Daby I just want to dance

I met her on ^EmGrafton stree^Gt right outside of the bar
She shared a ^Dcigarette with me while her b^Crother played the guitar
She asked me ^Emwhat does it mean the ^GGaelic ink on your arm?
Said it was ^Done of my friend’s songs

She took ^EmJamie as a chase^Gr, Jack for the fun

^EmChatted some more, ^Gone more drink at the bar
^DThen put Van on the jukebox, got up to dance, you know

You’re my pretty little ^CGalwa^Gy Girl ^{D Em}

You know she ^Embeat me at darts and t^Ghen she beat me at pool
And then she ^Dkissed me like there w^Cas nobody else in the room
As last o^Emrders were called was w^Ghen she stood on the stool
After ^Ddancing to Cèilidh singing to

trad tunes
I never ^Emheard Carrickfergus eve^Gr sing so sweet
A ca^Dpella in the bar using ^Cher feet for the beat

And in this ^Dpacked out room swear she was singing to me

Our ^Emcoats both smell of s^Gmoke, whisky and wine
As we ^Dfill up our lungs with the

About a ^DGalway Girl and a perfect night
