C                    G                
Outside the house Mr Simpson announced
     C                        G      
That Sally couldn't go to the meeting
   C                                    
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce
                   G      
And she ran inside weeping
C                       G                         
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture
C                 
Of the new Messiah
                              G            
She picked up the book of her father's life
    C                    G
And threw it on the fire ■


[Chorus]
F                      
She knew from the start
     F                
Deep down in her heart
                        G           
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
        F                 C             
But her mother said Never mind your part
                     G 
Is to be what you'll be


[Verse]
C                           G            
The theme of the sermon was 'Come unto me
    C                C7  
And love will find a way'
C                   G             
So Sally decided to ignore her dad
    C         G     
And sneak out anyway
C                                    
She spent all afternoon getting ready
    C                             
And decided she'd try to touch him
                    G           
Maybe he'd see that she was free
    C                G     
And talk to her this Sunday


[Chorus]
F                      
She knew from the start
     F                
Deep down in her heart
                        G           
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
        F                 C             
But her mother said Never mind your part
      D              G 
Is to be what you'll be


[Verse]
C                            G                 
■ She arrived at six and the place was swinging
   C               G   
To gospel music by nine
C                 G                    
Group after group appeared on the stage
    C                    G     
And Sally just sat there crying
C                                            
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture
                        G  
Right in the very front row
           C            G                  
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge
C                       G 
Ran on and said Here we go


[Chorus]
D              G    
The crowd went crazy
D                G    
As Tommy hit the stage
D                            G            
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
    A               D   
The crowd back in a rage


[Verse]
C        G                    
Soon the atmosphere was cooler
   C                  
As Tommy gave a lesson
                          G                 
Sally just had to let him know she loved him
    C                     
And lept up on the rostrum
    C                                     
She ran across stage to the spotlit figure
                       G   
And brushed him on the face
C                                      
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man
C                      
Threw her off the stage


[Chorus]
G F                      
■ She knew from the start
     F                
Deep down in her heart
                        G           
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
        F                 C             
But her mother said Never mind your part
      D              G  C
Is to be what you'll be ■


[Verse]
    C                                        
Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down
                  G    
Mingling with her tears
C                G        
Tommy carried on preaching
        C                    G   
And his voice filled Sally's ears
C                                
She caught his eye she had to try
                                G     
But he couldn't see through the lights
C                       G                
Her face was gashed and the ambulance men
       C                  G    
Had to carry her out that night


[Chorus]
D              G    
The crowd went crazy
   D              G    
As Tommy left the stage
D                             G               
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch
      A               D    D7   
And a gash across her face ■  oh
C                                              
Sixteen stitches put her right and her dad said
                   G       
Don't say I didn't warn you
C                      G            
Sally got married to a rock musician
C                     G
She met in California ■
C            G                  
Tommy always talks about the day
    C                  G   
The disciples all went wild
C                     G                
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
   C                       G
To remind her of his smile ■
F                      
She knew from the start
     F                
Deep down in her heart
                        G           
That she and Tommy were worlds apart
        F                 C             
But her mother said Never mind your part
      D              G 
Is to be what you'll be
