This is a beautiful version of Steve Earle's "Galway Girl" by Stewart Lee. I love
how he gives the song the tragic and sad mood it deserves - this is about a broken
heart, after all. This song was played at the very end of his 2010 show "If You
Prefer a Milder Comedian, Please Ask For One" with Nick Pynn on the violin. Do
yourself a favour and buy that amazing DVD. You can find the song on that YouTube
they have now, but experiencing the full performance is a must. Couple of things:
Play the A like x02230,
Light strums without hitting the e string (xx023x) in the verse sounds better to me,
On the D chord, hammer the G string on the 2nd fret when it feels right,
He does a run on the G chord sometimes, like ( E |--3--2--0-) but I'm not sure.
