The song is about meeting a Galway girl in a bar in Ireland. They share drinks and cigarettes, and she beats him at darts and pool before kissing him. They dance to Irish music together and he walks her home, where they have more drinks and she inspires him to write a song about their perfect night together.

Galway Girl chords Ed Sheeran
CAPO on II
[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 [Chorus 2]
[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] 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
[Outro] (Play the chords with ad libs in celtic style) Cadd9 G D Em Cadd9 G D Em Cadd9 G D Em Cadd9 G D Em
