Sally Suspended

Lyrics by Robert Edgar

Music by Dave Allender, Tim Johnson and Robert Edgar

 

Am/A Am/G

Blank Slate. Sweet tongue.

Am/F# F E

Forthright. Warp speed.

Am/A Am/G

Light weight. Unsung.

Am/F# F E

Short flight. Spent seed.

 

F G C Am

Where Grant meets Columbus Sally blinks her eye.

F G C Am E

Trash rolls like tumbleweeds, dusk soaks up the sky.

 

Am/A Am/G

Downtown. Up right.

Am/F# F E

Left turn. Dim sum.

Am/A Am/G

Low down. Up tight.

Am/F# F E

Slow burn. Lose some.

 

F G C Am

Step inside for coffee, watch mirrors on the wall.

F G C Am E

Grab a cube of sugar, two bits to make a call.

 

F G C Em7 Am G

Sally shuffles in the crowded street.

F G C Em7 Am G

Sally whispers in the ci - ty din.

F G Am

Sally pours shadows in the night.

 

Am/A Am/G

Slow life. Iron wire.

Am/F# F E

Slave trade. Wild fire.

Am/A Am/G

Fish wife. Church choir.

Am/F# F E

Dull blade. Town crier.

 

F G C Am

Where Grant meets Columbus another bus comes by.

F G C Am E

Sally rubs a tattoo of a mottled butterfly.
