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]
ESally was an angel, but angel's are a fake
ECould 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 This fallen womanA7, in my mind, the death of EmeB7
[Verse 2]
ESally was a girl child when I first knifed her heart
ENow 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 This fallen womanA7, in my mind, the death of EmeB7
