Sally G Chords

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.

[Verse 1]
G                                   A
Somewhere to the south of New York City
Am                             G
Lies the friendly state of Tennessee
G                                 A
Down in Nashville Town I met a pretty
Am                  C              G
Who made a pretty big fool out of me

[Verse 2]
G                                         A
The night life took me down to Printer's Alley
Am                               G
Where Sally sang a song behind a bar
G                             A
I ran my eyes upon her as she sang "A Tangled Mind"
Am        C                  G
I used to love her sweet guitar
 
[Chorus]
                  C    G   C   G

                       Em
I heard a voice say "move along,
C                G   C   G   C   G   C   G   C
"Move along"
 
[Verse 3]
G                             A
Now I'm on my own again and I wonder
Am                        G
If she ever really understood
G                                    A
I never thought to ask her what the letter "G" stood for
Am             C              G
But I know for sure it wasn't good
 
[Chorus]
                  C    G   C   G
And they call her Sally, Sally G
