[Verse 1]
      G                       Am
With love in his heart and flowers in his hand
   G                 D
Johnny proposed to Sally Anne
  Am
Sally shivered as she said
  D                      G
"I'll love you ’til the day I'm dead"

[Verse 2]
 G                        Am
Johnny got married in his one good suit
         G                D
But the ride from church bore strange fruit
 Am
Down by road you can hear her cry
       D                     G
As he hung from a tree, she watched him die
 
[Chorus]
  G                     Am
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
  D                     G
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
  G                Am
When the fiddler takes the stand
  D                      G
Who’s gonna dance with Sally Anne?
 
[Instrumental]

  G                    Am
Sally attends every wedding 'round here
  G                D
Lookin' for her Johnny dear
 Am
You can feel them in the room
  D              G
If the fiddler plays that tune
 
[Chorus]
 
 G                     Am
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
 D                      G
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
 G                Am
When the fiddler takes the stand
 D                      G
Who’s gonna dance with Sally Anne?

[Verse 4]
 A                Bm
Darkened shadows cross the floor
A                  E
As ghostly lovers dance once more
       Bm
When wedding bells ring in that town
    E               A
A ghostly virgin strolls the ground
 
[Chorus]
 
 A                      Bm
Who's gonna dance with Sally Anne?
 E                      A
Who's gonna touch her tremblin' hand?
 A                 Bm
When the fiddler takes the stand
 E                       A
Who’s gonna dance with Sally Anne?
