Good time girls lyrics by Nathan Carter
The Guitar chords are included in the same key that the Nathan Carter Band play the song, key of G Major.. An Irish country music song.
Good time girls won't you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight.
Good time girls won't you come out tonight, we'll dance by the light of the Moon.
As I was walking down the street, down the street, down the street.
A pretty little girl I chanced to meet, we danced by the light of the Moon.
You know I danced with my darling with a whole in her stocking, her knees kept knocking, the band was rockin'
I danced with my darling with a whole in her stocking, we danced by the light of the Moon.
Good time girls won't you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight.
Good time girls won't you come out tonight, we'll dance by the light of the Moon.
You know I danced with my darling with a whole in her stocking, her knees kept knocking, the band was rockin'
I danced with my darling with a whole in her stocking, we danced by the light of the Moon.
Good time girls won't you come out tonight, come out tonight, come out tonight.

🎸 STRUMMING PATTERN (Country Feel)
↓ ↓↑ ↑↓↑
1 2& 3&4&
💡 Tips:
• Keep it bright and bouncy (think quick upstrokes).
• Palm mute lightly on bass beats for a bluegrass feel.
• Tap your foot — it’s a dancer’s rhythm!
Alternate “Boom-Chick” pattern:
Bass ↓ – Strum ↑ (repeat)
1 & 2 & 3 & 4 &
-------------------------------------
🎵 FINGERPICKING PATTERN (Rolling Country)
p – i – m – a – m – i
(Thumb = Bass • Index = G • Middle = B • Ring = High E)
→ Play the bass (root note) on beats 1 & 3, fingers roll upward on beats 2 & 4.
→ Works perfectly for verses before switching to strumming on the chorus.
