A
My true love did breathe by the Sally Ann so softly
           D                                      A
That while walkin' through town only my heart did hear him
   E                 A
In views of the city

[Verse 2]
      A                       A7
There ain't many folks by the Sally Ann so pretty
           D                                   A
That while walkin' through town many a twisted feature
       E        D
Made a terrible beauty
E   A
Beauty

[Chorus]
    D    E  A
And then I knew
    D    E  A
And then I knew
A7  D    Dm      A
I'd been there before

[Verse 3]
    A                          A7
One thing you must know by the Sally Ann directly
            D                                  A
Is that the pockets don't hold any more sunken treasures
      E                  A
After baptism by whiskey

[Verse 4]
    A                           A7
But when leavin' the bar by the Sally Ann just barely
         D                                    A
That old angel may allow light from above the mountain
    E               D
And red brick walls blooming
E         A
You might see

[Chorus]
    D    E      A
And then you'll know
    D    E      A
And then you'll know
A7     D    Dm
You've been there
    D    E      A
And then you'll know
    D    E      A
And then you'll know
A7     D    Dm      A
You've been there before
