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. [Intro] (strum each once (s-l-o-w-l-y)) Am Em C (now into the rhythm of the song) G C G C G C G C [Verse 1]
G                                   A
Somewhere to the south of New York City

Am                             G
Lies the friendly state of Tennessee

Down in Nashville Town I met a pretty

[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

[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
