INTRO: G  Cadd9  G  Cadd9

    G                    C
She longed to be a lady
                     G     C
When she was just a child
                        G/B      Em    A7                   
But where the grass was greener, Lord
                      D
She done her growin' wild
        G                                C
And she tried to spread her tender wings
                    G        C
And never left the ground
                 C/B    G/B             Em      C
So she turned to dreams     at sweet sixteen
    D               G
And woke up comin' down


CHORUS:
        C                          G
But she tries in her way, climbin' higher
        A7                  D      
And she dies each time she fails
   C          C/B  G/B              Em     C
So give her a home     or leave her alone
    D               G
The lady's not for sale


INTRO


    G                              C
She ain't ashamed to show her soul
                         G      C
And she'll sell it for a song
                    G/B        Em   A7      
But free don't mean she's easy
                   D
Or right for goin' wrong
   G                          
So let her be the lady, Lord
    C               G   
She wants so bad to be
C       C/B G/B           Em    C  
Let her win     the gentleman
     D                G
That she was born to please


CHORUS
