Sally Ann Tab

by Natalie Merchant


 I don't know if this is the right key but it sure sounds right. On the album, the
chords are plucked (arpeggio) and it sounds better and works better with the slow
melody.  There are some other great
traditional folk tunes on the album, great for acoustic guitar.

by N. Merchant on House Carpenter's Daughter)
