Sally G

SALLY G - Paul McCartney & Wings

This dandy little countrified tune was the B-side of the "Junior's Farm"

single way back in 1975. The label of the record says "Recorded in

England" but I believe it was recorded in Nashville with Chet Atkins on

guitar and Floyd Cramer on piano. I don't know who played the fiddle

and the steel guitar.

(strum each once (s-l-o-w-l-y))

(now into the rhythm of the song)

VERSE 1

Somewhere to the south of New York City

Lies the friendly state of Tennessee

Down in Nashville Town I met a pretty

Who made a pretty big fool out of me

And they call her Sally, Sally G

Why d'ya wanna do the things you do to me

You're my Sally, Sally G

You took the part that was the heart of me

Sally G

VERSE 2

The night life took me down to Printer's Alley

Where Sally sang a song behind a bar

I cast my eyes upon her as she sang "A Tangled Mind"

I used to love her sweet guitar

REPEAT CHORUS

Me and Sally took up

Things began to look up

Me and her were goin' strong

Then she started lyin'

I could see our love was dyin'

I heard a voice say "move along,

"Move along"

VERSE 3

Now I'm on my own again and I wonder

If she ever really understood

I never thought to ask her what the letter "G" stood for

But I know for sure it wasn't good

REPEAT CHORUS

ENDING

(strum once (same as intro))

 

Sally G

(spoken)

Yeah, Sally G
