Galway Girl Ukulele

(ver. 2)
Ed Sheeran
[Intro]
    F#m                     A
She played the fiddle in an Irish band,
        E                    D
But she fell in love with an English man.
F#m                                A
Kissed her on the neck, and then I took her by the hand,
       E
Said, "Baby, I just want to dance."

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

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

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

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

[Verse 3]
          F#m                             A
Now we've outstayed our welcome, and it's closing time.
      E                              D
I was holding her hand, her hand was holding mine.
    F#m                        A
Our coats both smell of smoke, whisky and wine,
      E
As we fill up our lungs with the cold air of the night.

[Bridge]
  F#m                      A
I walked her home then she took me inside,
         E                         D
Finished some Doritos, and another bottle of wine.
  F#m                             A
I swear I'm going to put you in a song that I write
        E                  D
About a Galway girl, and a perfect night.

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