INTRO
[VERSE]
Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
C GThat Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
C GHe went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce,
And she ran inside a-weeping.
C GShe got to her room and tears splashed the picture
C GOf her new messiah.
She picked up a book of her father's life and
C G G/C G GThrew it on the fire.
CHORUS
She knew from the start, deep down in her heart
G G/C G G/C G GThat she and Tommy were worlds apart.
F CBut her mother said, "Never mind, your part is to
Be what you'll be."
The theme of the sermon was "Come unto me and 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.
[repeat CHORUS]
She arrived at six and the place was swingin' to gospel music by nine.
Group after group appeared on the stage and
Sally just sat there cryin'.
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture
Right in the very front row.
Then a D.J. wearin' a blazer with a badge
Ran on and said, "Here we go!"
[BRIDGE]
The crowd went crazy as Tommy hit the stage.
D7 GLittle Sally got lost as the police bossed the
A7 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 DCrowd back in a rage.
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 across the stage to the spotlit figure
and brushed him on the face.
Tommy whirled round as a uniformed man threw her off the stage.
[Repeat 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.
[BRIDGE 2]
The crowd went crazy as Tommy left the stage.
D7 GLittle Sally was lost for the price of a touch and a
A7 D Dsus4 D Dsus4 DGash across her face. Ooooh.
Sixteen stitches put her right and her dad said,
"Don't say I didn't warn ya!"
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.
[repeat CHORUS]
