The Ballad Of Sally Rose Chords & Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

[Bb]Her mama picked him up in [Eb]south Minne[Bb]sota
He promised her the world but they [F]never got that [Bb]far
For he was last seen in that '[Eb]59 DeS[Bb]ota
When Sally was born in the black [F]hills of Dak[Bb]ota

[Bb]She was washed in the blood of the [Eb]dying Sioux [Bb]nation
Raised with a proud but a w[F]andering [Bb]heart
And she knew that her roots were in the [Eb]old reser[Bb]vation
But she had stars in her eyes and gre[F]ater expec[Bb]tations

No [Eb]rings on her [Bb]fingers no [F]bells on her [Bb]toes
With [Eb]bugs on her head[Bb]lights
And [C7]runs in her [F]hose
Through the [Eb]valley of the [F]shadow of [Bb]Roosevelt's [Eb]nose
Adi[Bb]os South Dakota, adi[F]os Sally [Bb]Rose

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

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

No[Eb] rings on her[Bb] fingers no[F] bells on her[Bb] toes
With [Eb]bugs on her head[Bb]lights
And [C7]runs in her [F]hose
Through the [Eb]valley of the [F]shadow of [Bb]Roosevelt's [Eb]nose
Adi[Bb]os South Dakota, adi[F]os Sally [Bb]Rose
