[Intro 1]
[D]
[G][Asus4][D]

[Verse 1]
Her [D]mama picked
him up in [G]south Minnesota
[D]He promised her the world,
but they [A]never got that [D]far
For he was last seen in that [G]'59 Desoto
[D]When Sally was born in the black
[Asus4]hills of [A]Dakota
[D]

[Verse 2]
She was washed in the blood
of the [G]dying Sioux na[D]tion
Raised with a proud,
but a [A]wandering [Asus4]heart[D]
And she knew that her roots
were [G]in the old reserva[D]tion
She had stars in her eyes
and great[A]er ex[Asus4]pecta tio[D]ns

[Verse 3]
[D]
No [G]rings on her fin[D]gers,
no [A]bells on [D]her toes
With [G]bugs on her head
[D]lights and [E]runs in her hose
[A]Through the val[G]ley of the sha[A]dow
of [D]Roosevelt's [G]nose
Adios [D]South Dakota,
adi[A]os Sally [D]Rose[G]

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][D][A][D]
They've got a [A]national

[Verse 4]
[A]monument
[D]carved out of stone
On the [A]side of a mountain where
her [D]forefathers roamed
Playing cowboys and Indians right
[G]under the [D]nose
Of Theodore Roosevelt and the
[A]sweet Sally [D]Rose

[Verse 5]
So she [D]left Rapid City in the
[G]blue moonlight [D]hour
One her eye on the highway
and her [A]foot on the [D]floor
And turning the dial she
[G]was pulled by [D]the power
Of the word coming out of that
[A]broadcasting [D]tower

[Verse 6]
No [G]rings on her fin[D]gers,
no [A]bells on [D]her toes
With [G]bugs on her head
[D]lights and [E]runs in her hose
[A]Through the val[G]ley of the sha[A]dow
of [D]Roosevelt's [G]nose
[D]Adios South Dakota, adi[A]os Sally [D]Rose

[Verse 7]
No [G]rings on her fin[D]gers,
no [A]bells on [D]her toes
With [G]bugs on her head[D]lights and
[E]runs in [A]her hose
Through the [G]valley of the [A]shadow
of [D]Roosevelt's [G]nose
Adi[D]os South Dakota,
adi[A]os Sally [D]Rose

[Outro 1]
