SALLY ANN - Rufus Wainwright
From the album "Rufus Wainwright" (1998)
[Verse 1]
A
My true love did breathe by the Sally Ann so softly
D A
That while walkin' through town only my heart did hear him
E A
In views of the city
[Verse 2]
A A7
There ain't many folks by the Sally Ann so pretty
D A
That while walkin' through town many a twisted feature
E D
Made a terrible beauty
E A
Beauty
[Chorus]
D E A
And then I knew
D E A
And then I knew
A7 D Dm A
I'd been there before
[Verse 3]
A A7
One thing you must know by the Sally Ann directly
D A
Is that the pockets don't hold any more sunken treasures
E A
After baptism by whiskey
[Verse 4]
A A7
But when leavin' the bar by the Sally Ann just barely
D A
That old angel may allow light from above the mountain
E D
And red brick walls blooming
E A
You might see
[Chorus]
D E A
And then you'll know
D E A
And then you'll know
A7 D Dm
You've been there
D E A
And then you'll know
D E A
And then you'll know
A7 D Dm A
You've been there before
