Introduction:
G D
She sits alone by a lam-post
C G
Trying to find a thought that' s escaped her mind
G D
She says "Dad' s the one I love the most."
C G
But Stipe' s not far behind
G D
She never lets me in only tells me where she' s been
C G
when she' s had to much to drink
G D
I say that I don' t care I just run my hands through her dark hair
C G
then I pray to God, "You gotta help me fly away" (and just)
C G
let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
C Em G D
let her sing If it eases all her pain
C G
let her go let her walk right out on me
D
and if the sun comes up tomorrow,
C G
let her be, let her be
G D
This morning I woke up alone found a note standing by the phone
C G
saying "maybe, maybe I' ll be back someday"
G
I wanted to look for you
D
you walked in, I didn' t know just what I should do
C G
So, I sat back down, had a beer and felt sorry for myself
C G
let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
C Em G D
let her sing If it eases all her pain
C G
let her go let her walk right out on me
D
and if the sun comes up tomorrow,
C G
let her be, oh..
G
last night I tried to leave
D
cried so much I could not believe
C G
she was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
G
she went in the back to get high
D
I sat down on my couch and cried yelling
C G
"Oh Mama!, please help me. Won' t you hold my hand"
C G
let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
C Em G D
let her sing If it eases all her pain
C G
let her go let her walk right out on me

and if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be
C G
let her cry if the tears fall down like rain
C Em G D
let her sing If it eases all her pain
C G
let her go let her walk right out on me

and if the sun comes up tomorrow,
C G
let her be, Oh let her be
