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 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

BRIDGE

Me and Sally took up

Things began to look up

Me and her were goin' strong

Am
Then she started lyin'

G Am
I could see our love was dyin'

Em
I heard a voice say "move along,

C G C G C G C G C
"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

Am Em C

G C G C G C G
Sally G
