Outside the [G] house, Mr.
Simpson [C] announced Sally couldn't [G] go to the meeting.
[C] He went [G] off cleaning his blue rose bush and she ran inside a weeping.
[C] She got to a [G] room and tears splashed for [C] plenty of robbing the [G] Messiah.
[C] She took a book [G] of her father's life and threw it on fire.
_ [F] She knew from the start deep down in her heart she and [G] Tommy were worlds apart.
_ _ _ [F] Her mother said, [C] never mind your [D] heart, it's to be [G] what you'll be. _ _ _
_ _ [C] The [G] theme of the summer was, come unto me and love will [Gm] find a [C] way.
So Sally decided [G] to ignore her [C] dad and sneak out [G] anyway.
[C] She spent all [Gm] afternoon getting [C] ready and decided she'd [G] try to touch him.
[C] Maybe he'd see [G] that she was free and talk to her this [C] Sunday.
[G] _
[F] She knew from the start deep down in her heart she and Tommy [G] were worlds apart. _ _
_ _ [F] But her mother said, [C] never mind your heart, [D] it's to be [G] what you'll be.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
She arrived at 6 [G] in the place while swinging to gospel music by night.
[C] Group after group [G] appeared on the stage [C] and Sally just sat [G] there crying.
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture right in the very front row.
[C] Then a [G] DJ wearing a blazer with a [C] badge ran on and said, here [G] we go!
_ [D] The crowd [G] went crazy [D] as Tommy [G] hit the stage.
[D] Then Sally got [G] knocked at the party [A] bus, the crowd back [D] in a rage. _ _
_ [F] _ _ [C] The [G] atmosphere was [C] cooler and Tommy gave a [G] lesson.
Sally just had to let him know she [C] loved him and leapt up [G] on the rock.
[C] She ran across [G] stage to the spotlight [C] figure and brushed him [G] on the face.
[C] Tommy wore a [G] round as a uniform [C] and threw her [G] off the [C] stage.
[G] _
[F] She knew from the start deep down in her [Dm] heart she and [G] Tommy were worlds apart. _
_ _ [F] But her mother [C] said, never mind your [D] heart, it's to be what [G]
you'll be.
_ _ [C] _ _ _
[Gm] _ [G] She hit a chair and brushed her little [C] down, [G] mingling with her tears.
[C] Tommy [G] carried on preaching and his voice filled Sally's ears.
[C] She [G] caught his eye, she had to try but he couldn't see through the lights.
Her face was gashed and the ambulance man had to carry her out that night.
_ [Dm] The crowd [G] went crazy as [D] Tommy [G] left his stage.
[D] Sally was [G] knocked for the price of a [A] touch and a gash across [D] her face.
[G] _ [D] _
_ Ooooooh!
[C] Sixteen [G] stitches put her right in the [C] dance and don't say I [Gm] didn't warn ya.
[C]
Sally got [G] married to a rock musician she met in California. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C] Tommy [G] always told somebody [C] the D-side was [G] always wild.
[C] Sally still [G] carries a scar on her cheek [C] to remind her of [G] his smile. _
_ _ _ _ [F] She knew from the start deep down in her heart she and Tommy [G] were worlds apart. _ _ _ _
But her mother said, [C] never mind your heart, [D] it's to be what [G] you'll be. _
