    You can play along with the UKULUI video in GCEA tuning using the UKULUI songsheet and putting your capo on the 7th fret! You can play along with Steve Earle video using the EARLE songsheet with the exception that the instrumentals have been shortened. Of course you can always choose to leave out instrumentals altogether if you're leading the song - just let the group know before you start.

    "Galway Girl" or "The Galway Girl" is a song written by Steve Earle and recorded with Irish musician Sharon Shannon, which was featured on Earle's 2000 album Transcendental Blues.

    A cover version of the song by Mundy and Shannon reached number one and became the most downloaded song of 2008 in Ireland, and has gone on to become the eighth highest selling single in Irish chart history.

A lot of Page views for this song so I want to clarify that the chords posted now are what we will be doing. We will do the song the same way the UKULUI group does it in the video including the deedle dee stuff. I will probably try to play harmonica during the bridges and if anybody wants to do a harmonica or a whistle or whatever you think will add to it, please do.
