Introduction:
Bm A E/G#
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
A D Em F#
And many times, her eyes fought back the tears
Bm A E/G# G
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
A
Each time her slender shoulders for the weight of all her fears
Em A
And a sorrow no one hears

Still rings in midnight silence in her ears

Let her cry, oh, she's a lady
G F# Bm A
Let her dream, she's a child

Let the rain fall down up- on her

And if by chance that I should hold heri

Let me hold her for a time-s

And if allowed just one possession
Em A C D
I would take her in my arms to be mine

Bm A E/G#
Be careful how you touch her, for she'll awaken
A D Em F#
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
Bm A E/G#
When you walk into her eyes, you won't believe
A
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owed
Em A
And a silent wind still blows
G F# Em A Bm
That only she can hear, so she goes
G A D
Let her cry, oh, she's a lady
