Sally Mclennane chords by The Dubliners

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
    D       G               D
Well Jimmy played harmonica in the pub where I was born
   D          G               A
He played it from the night-time to the peaceful early morn
   G               D        A
He soothed souls of psychos and the men who had the horn
     D         G      A  D
and they all looked very happy in the morning

   D               G        D
Now Jimmy didn't like his place in this world of ours
   D                  G       A
Where the elephant man broke strong men's necks when he'd had too many powers
   G               D        A
So sad to see the grieving of the people he was leaving
     D        G      A  D
And he took the road from nowhere in the morning

Chorus:
   D         G       D
We walked him to the station in the rain
   D        G       A
We kissed him as we put him on the train
    G      D         G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
      D        A      D  A
though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
 D
Sad to say I must be on my way
   G        D         A
so buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
   D
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
      G       D       A    D
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane

Verse 2:
   D               G        D
The years passed by the times had changed Igrew to be a man
   D                  G       A
I learned to love the virtues of sweet Sally McLennane
   G               D        A
I took the jeers and drank the beers and I crawled back home at dawn
     D        G      A  D
And ended up a barman in the morning

   D               G        D
I played the pump and took the hump and watered whiskey down
   D                  G       A
I talked of whores and horses to the men who drank the brown
   G               D        A
I heard them say that Jimmy's making money far away
     D        G      A  D
Some people left for heaven without warning

Chorus:
   D         G       D
We walked him to the station in the rain
   D        G       A
We kissed him as we put him on the train
    G      D         G
And we sang him a song of times long gone
      D        A      D  A
though we knew that we'd be seeing him again
 D
Sad to say I must be on my way
   G        D         A
so buy me beer and whiskey 'cause I'm going far away
   D
I'd like to think I'll be returning when I can
      G       D       A    D
to the greatest little boozer and to Sally McLennane

Verse 3:
   D               G        D
When Jimmy came back home he was surprised that they where gone
   D                  G       A
He asked me all the details of the train that they went on
   G               D        A
Some people they arescared to croak but Jimmy drank until he choked
     D        G      A  D
And took the road for heaven in the morning\f
