[Intro]
Dm, Dm7, Dm6, Bb, Am,Am, A7,A7
[Verse 1]
Dm Dm7 Dm6 Bb
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine,
Gm C7 Fmaj7 A7
And many times, her eyes fought back the tears;
Dm Dm7 Dm6 Bb
And when her youthful world was about to fall in,
Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7
Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears,
Gm7 C7
And a sorrow no one hears
Bb Am Gm Bb D
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears.
[Chorus]
Bb C Am Am7
Let her cry for she's a lady,
Bb A7 Dm Dm7
Let her dream for she's a child
Bb Am Gm Gm7
Let the rain fall down upon her
Gm C7 Fmaj7
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.
[Bridge]
Dm Am7
And if by chance I should hold her,
Dm Am7
Let me hold her for a time;
Dm Am7 Am7
But if allowed just one possession,
Gm C Am
I would pick her from the garden to be mine.
[Instrumental]
Dm, Dm7, Dm6, Bb, Am,Am, A7,A7
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm7 Dm6 Bb
Be careful how you touch her , for she'll awaken,
Gm C7 Fmaj7 A7
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows;
Dm Dm7 Dm6 Bb
And when you look into her eyes, you won't believe
Gm7 C7 Gm7 C7
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owed,
Gm7 C7
And a silent wind still blows
Bb Am Gm Bb D
That only she can hear, and so she goes.
[Chorus] (x2)
Bb C Am Am7
Let her cry for she's a lady,
Bb A7 Dm Dm7
Let her dream for she's a child
Bb Am Gm Gm7
Let the rain fall down upon her
Gm C7 Fmaj7
She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild.
