[Intro]
D G A Bm Em7 A
D G A Bm Em7 A D

[Verse 1]
D
Now I’m most depressed and sad, when I once was blithe and glad,
G Em A A7
I could trip around the town both trim and neatly.
D
I was happy night and morn, but of all such joys I’m shorn,
G A D
Since I fell so deep in love with Sally Wheatley

[Chorus]
G D Em7 Bm
And oh dear me, what am I ganna dee?
D A A7
Sally’s taken me heart away completely,
D
And I’ll never get it back,
D
’Cos she gans with Mr Black,
G A D
And they say he’s gan te marry Sally Wheatley.

[Verse 2]
D
Well I’ve never seen such a lass, and I know she liked her glass,
G Em A A7
She could toss a pot of whisky over sweetly.
D
Well it’s right to take a drop, if you know just when to stop,
G A D
That was just the very way with Sally Wheatley.

[Chorus]
G D Em7 Bm
And oh dear me, what am I ganna dee?
D A A7
Sally’s taken me heart away completely,
D
And I’ll never get it back,
D
’Cos she gans with Mr Black,
G A D
And they say he’s gan te marry Sally Wheatley.

[Verse 3]
D
How I felt I diven’t knaw, the first time I Sally saw,
G Em A A7
In a threesome reel she hopped about se leetly.
D
And I might have had a chance, if I’d asked her up to dance,
G A D
But I was ower shy to speak to Sally Wheatley.

[Chorus]
