Bb Eb Bb
Her mama picked him up in south Minnesota
F Bb
He promised her the world but they never got that far
Bb 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
Bb Eb Bb
And she knew that her roots were in the old reservation
Bb 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 momument 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
Bb F Bb
Of Theodore Roosevelt and 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
Bb 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
