[Verse 1]
Em It was the dirty end of winter G Along the loom of the land D C When I walked with sweet Sally Em Hand upon hand Em And the wind it bit bitter G For a boy of no means D C With no shoes on his feet Em And a knife in his jeans Em Along the loom of the land G The mission bells pealed D C From the tower at Saint Mary's Em Down to Reprobate Fields Em And I saw that the world G Was all blessed and bright D C And Sally breathed softly Em In the majestic night
[Chorus]
D O baby please don't cry Em And try to keep D C Your little hand upon my shoulder Em Now go to sleep
[Verse 2]
Em The elms and the poplars G Were turning their backs D C Past the rumbling station Em We followed the tracks Em We found an untrodden path G And followed it down D C The moon in the sky Em Like a dislodged crown Em My hands they burned G In the folds of her coat D C Breathing milky white air Em From deep in her throat
[Chorus]
D O baby please don't cry Em And try to keep D C Your little head upon my shoulder Em Now go to sleep
[Bridge]
Em Ahhhhhh G Ahhhhhh D C Em oooooo
[Verse 3]
Em I told Sally in whispers G I'll never bring you harm D C Her breast it was small Em And warm in my palm Em I told her the moon G Was a magical thing D C That it shone gold in winter Em And silver in spring Em And we walked and walked G Across the endless sands D C Just me and my Sally Em Along the loom of the land
[Chorus]
D O baby please don't cry Em And try to keep D C Your little head upon my shoulder Em Now try to sleep D O baby please don't cry Em And don't you weep D C Lay your head upon my shoulder Em Now try to sleep
[Outro]
Em Ahhhhhh G Ahhhhhh D C Em oooooo Ahhhhh Em Ahhhhhh G Ahhhhhh D C Em oooooo Ahhhhh
