B7, E7  D7  B7 (x2)

Chorus 1:

B7                                   E7   D7   B7
 Sneaking s Sally through the alley, ooh, ooh, ooh.
B7                                   E7   D7   B7
 Sneaking s Sally through the alley, ooh, ooh, ooh.

Verse 1:

B7                                E7 D7                        B7
 Sneaking Sally through the alley,    tryin' to keep her outta sight.
B7                                E7 D7                  B7
 Sneaking Sally through the alley,    when up popped the wife.

         B7
I said, "I can't find nothing wrong with being friends, 'cos sometimes;
E7 D7                        B7
    She lets me use her car".
              B7
She said; "If you can't find, nothing wrong in your mind,
             E7 D7              B7
You'd better;    find something wrong with hers".

Bridge 1:

   E7         A7        E7
So I began to try to ex-plain,
        D7                       A7                    E7
That it just wasn't, just wasn't, just wasn't what she thought.

    B7
Now I'd better find something to do with my time;
     E7 D7              B7
Fact is; I've just been caught.

Chorus 2:

B7                                   E7   D7   B7
 Sneaking s Sally through the alley, ooh, ooh, ooh.
B7                                   E7   D7   B7
 Sneaking s Sally through the alley, ooh, ooh, ooh.

B7                                     E7 D7                  B7
 Sneaking through the alley with Sally;    tryin' to get away clean.
B7                                E7 D7                  B7
 Sneaking Sally through the alley,    when up popped the queen.

B7
 I talk double talk, anything's trouble talk,
                   E7   D7  B7
Catching myself in lies.
B7
 Mama, just look at me as if I was crazy;
E7 D7                      B7
    She didn't even bat an eye-lid.

Bridge 2:

   E7         A7        E7
So I began to try to ex-plain,
        D7                       A7                    E7
That it just wasn't, just wasn't, just wasn't what she thought.

    B7
Now I'd better find something to do with my time;
     E7 D7              B7
Fact is; I've just been caught.
