Tommy – complete album transcription   Who



    D7         G        D7             G
The crowd went crazy as Tommy left the stage.
       D7                     G                     
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch and a 
A7              D      Dsus4 D  Dsus4  D
Gash 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.
