Verse 1
         G                          D
With her grandmother’s face and her father's brown eyes
    Am                       Em
Her own force of will to her mother’s surprise
  G                         D
A whole look about her that says that she may
    Am                      Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away

Chorus
    G                 D
She floated away, she floated away
     Am                     Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away
     G                         D
She don’t give a damn what the other girls say
     Am                      Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away

Verse 2
        G                        D
“Let me talk to you Mother," she tried to confess
 Am                   Em
“Go ahead, honey, and wear the white dress
G                       D
Don’t let traditions go stand in your way"
    Am                       Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away

Chorus
    G                 D
She floated away, she floated away
     Am                     Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away
    G                          D
She don’t give a damn what the other girls say
    Am                      Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away

Verse 3
        G                        D
Well, a man has two reasons for things that he does
    Am                         Em
The first one is pride and the second one is love
G                       D
All understandings must come by this way
    Am                      Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away

Chorus
    G                  D
She floated away, she floated away
    Am                      Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away
    G                          D
She don’t give a damn what the other girls say
     Am                     Em
She lifted her arms and she floated away
