G                                   A7 
Somewhere to the south of New York City 
Am7                              G 
Lies the friendly state of Tennessee 
                            A7 
Down in Nashville I met a pretty 
 Am7                C              G 
Who made a pretty big fool out of me 

                   C   G  C      G 
And they called her Sally, Sally G 
A7                                D7    G7 
Why d'you wanna do the things you do to me

Sally G 

The night life took me down to Printers Alley 
Where Sally sang a song behind the bar 
I ran my eyes across her as she sang a tangled mime 
I used to love to hear her sweet guitar 

And they called her Sally, Sally G 
Why d'you wanna do the things you do to me 
You're my Sally, Sally G 
Took the part that was the heart of me, Sally G
