Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Author's Note - This is the original "Beginning of Doves" version. Marc Bolan's acoustic performance
during the first 2 verses and an electric performance with Bolan and John's Children on
the 3rd verse. The producer spliced the two together. The electric verse is
a half-step up, beginning at F. I've tabbed the song in a consistant key.

[Verse 1]

Sally was an angel, but angel's are a fake
E
Could she just be a yesterday's scene trying to make a break
[Chorus]
A7
But I'm so lonely, mama. But I'm so lonely
B7 A7 E B7
This fallen woman, in my mind, the death of me
[Verse 2]
E
Sally was a girl child when I first knifed her heart
E
Now she's dead, but whose this head, speaking of things apart
[Chorus]
A7
But I'm so lonely, mama. But I'm so lonely
B7 A7 E B7
This fallen woman, in my mind, the death of me
