[Intro ](D) (Dmaj7) | (Bm) (A) | (G)  | (C) (A) | 

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 
      G        F#       Em      A  Bm 
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears 

        G    A           D 
Let her cry, oh, she's a lady 
        G      F#      Bm    A 
Let her dream, she's a child 
        G         F#       Em 
Let the rain fall down up- on her 
        A                             D 
She's a free and gentle flower, grow- ing wild 

G                     A 
And if by chance that I should hold her
i| 
Bm     C#       D 
Let me hold her for a time-s 
G                   D              G 
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 
        G      F#      Bm    A 
Let her dream, she's a child 
        G         F#       Em 
Let the rain fall down up- on her 
        A                             D 
She's a free and gentle flower, grow- ing wild 

G            A           D 
Let her cry, oh, she's a lady 
        G      F#      Bm    A 
Let her dream, she's a child 
        G         F#       Em 
Let the rain fall down up- on her 
        A                             D 
She's a free and gentle flower, grow- ing wild 
A                     D 
She's a flower, grow- ing wild 
G       A                      D G A D 
She's a flower, growing wild
