	        Bb                        Eb         Bb 
Her mama picked him up in south Minnesota 
                                   F              Bb 
He promised her the world but they never got that far 
                              Eb    Bb 
For he was last seen in that '59 DeSota 
                                 F           Bb 
When Sally was born in the black hills of Dakota 

Bb                                 Eb          Bb 
She was washed in the blood of the dying Sioux nation 
                           F        Bb 
Raised with a proud but a wandering heart 
                                        Eb       Bb 
And she knew that her roots were in the old reservation 
                                     F         Bb 
But she had stars in her eyes and greater expectations 

   Eb           Bb         F            Bb 
No rings on her fingers no bells on her toes 
     Eb              Bb 
With bugs on her headlights 
    C7          F 
And runs in her hose 
            Eb            F         Bb          Eb 
Through the valley of the shadow of Roosevelt's nose 
   Bb                  F        Bb 
Adios South Dakota, adios Sally Rose 

F                               Bb 
They've got a national monument carved out of stone 
       F                             Bb 
On the side of a mountain where her forefathers roamed 
                                  Eb        Bb 
Playing cowboys and Indians right under the nose 
                              F           Bb 
Of Theodore Roosevelt and the sweet Sally Rose 

Bb                            Eb             Bb 
So she left Rapid City in the blue moonlight hour 
                                    F            Bb 
With her eye on the highway and her foot on the floor 
                             Eb            Bb 
And turnin' the dial she was pulled by the power 
                               F            Bb 
Of the word coming out of that broadcasting tower 

  Eb           Bb         F            Bb 
No rings on her fingers no bells on her toes 
     Eb              Bb 
With bugs on her headlights 
    C7          F 
And runs in her hose 
            Eb            F         Bb          Eb 
Through the valley of the shadow of Roosevelt's nose 
   Bb                  F        Bb 
Adios South Dakota, adios Sally Rose
