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. Intro (with Violin): D-G-D-G-D A-G-A-D Bm-A-G-D A-G-A-G-D A-G-D
