The Who - Sally Simpson: Ukulele Chords

C                      G
Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
      C                        G
That Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
    C                     G
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce,
     C                G
And she ran inside a-weeping.
     C                   G
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture
C              G
Of her new messiah.
     C                       G
She picked up a book of her father's life and
   C             G
Threw it on the fire.

Chorus:
      F
She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
                         G
That she and Tommy were worlds apart.
         F                   C
But her mother said, "Never mind, your part is to
 D              G
Be what you'll be."

The theme of the sermon was come unto me
Love will find a way
So Sally decided to ignore her dad
And sneak out anyway
She spent all afternoon getting ready
And decided she'd try to touch him
Maybe he'd see that she was free
And talk to her this Sunday

Chorus

She arrived at six and the place was swinging
To gospel music by nine
Group after group appeared on the stage
And Sally just sat there crying
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture
Right in the very front row
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge
Ran on and said here we go!

      D7         G       D7             G
The crowd went crazy as Tommy hit the stage.
        D7                    G
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed the
  A7             D
Crowd back in a rage.

But soon the atmosphere was cooler
And Tommy gave a lesson
Sally just had to let him know she loved him
And leapt up on the rostrum
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure
And brushed him on the face
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man
Threw her off the stage

Chorus

Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down
Mingling with her tears
Tommy carried on preaching
And his voice filled Sally's ears
She caught his eye she had to try
But he couldn't see through the lights
Her face was gashed and the ambulance men
Had to carry her out that night

The crowd went crazy as Tommy left the stage.
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch and a
Gash across her face.

Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said
Don't say I didn't warn yer
Sally got married to a rock musician
She met in California
Tommy always talks about the day
The disciples all went wild!
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
To remind her of his smile

Chorus
