-5  -6  -5 -3*   -5  -6  7  -5 -3*
Hel-lo, Dol-ly, Well Hel-lo Dol-ly. 
 -5  -6  -7  -7* -7  -7*  -7   -7*   8  -7* -6
It's so nice to have you back where you be-long. 
  6     -6  -6*   7    -5* 5
You're look-ing swell, Dol-ly.  
-5* 7   7*   -5* 5

You're still glow-ing, you're still crow-ing 
  -7    -6   7  -7    -6
You're still go-ing strong. 
-5  -5*  6   -6   -5  -3*
We feel the room sway-ing 
-5  -6    7     -5  -3*
For the band's play-ing 
-5  -6   8  -7*  8   -7*    8
One of your old fav-‘rite songs 
 -7*  8  -7*   7
from way back when. 

-7   -7*  7   -6   -5  -6
So, take her wrap, fel-las 
 -7* -7* -7*-7* 7  -6  -5  -6
find her an emp-ty lap fel-las 
-9  -9  -9  -9  -9 -9 9 -9* -9 -7*
Dol-ly will nev-er go a-way a-gain.

REPEAT “to way back when” & end with

-7 -7* 7   -6   -5  -6
so gol-ly, gee, fel-las 
 -7* -7*-7*-7* 7    -6  -5  -6
find her a va-cant knee fel-las 
-9  -9  -9  -9  -9 -9 9 -9* -9 -7*
Dol-ly will nev-er go a-way a-gain. 


Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
