[Intro]
C# G# F#
She sits alone by a lamppost,
C#
Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind.
G# F#
She says there's the one I love the most,
C#
His type's not far behind.
[Verse]
C# G#
She never lets me in,
G# F#
Only tells me where she's been,
C#
when she's had too much to drink.
I say that I don't care,
G#
I just run my hands through her dark hair.
F# C#
Then I pray to God, "You gotta help me fly away".
And just,
[Chorus]
F# C#
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain.
F# A#m G#
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain.
F# C#
Let her go, let her walk right out on me.
G#
And if the sun comes up tomorrow,
F# C#
Let her be, let her be.
[Solo 1]
C# G# F# C#
[Verse]
C# G#
This morning I woke up alone,
F#
Found a note standing by the phone,
C#
Saying, "Maybe, Maybe I'll be back someday".
I wanted to look for you.
G#
You walked in, I didn't know just what I should do.
F# C#
So, I sat back down, had a beer and felt sorry for myself.
Saying,
[Chorus]
F# C#
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain.
F# A#m G#
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain.
F# C#
Let her go, let her walk right out on me.
G#
And if the sun comes up tomorrow,
F# C#
Let her be, let her be.
[Solo]
C# G# F# C# 2x
[Chorus]
F# C#
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain.
F# A#m G#
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain.
F# C#
Let her go, let her walk right out on me.
G#~
And if the sun comes up tomorrow,
F#~ C#
Let her be, oooh
[Interlude]
C# G# F# C#
[Verse]
C#
Last night I tried to leave.
G#
Cried so much I could not believe,
F# C#
She was the same girl I fell in love with long ago.
C#
She went in the back to get high.
G#
I sat down on my couch and cried, yelling,
F# C#
"Woman whoa, Lord, whoa, please help me.
Won't you hold my hand"
[Chorus]
F# C#
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain.
F# A#m G#
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain.
F# C#
Let her go, let her walk right out on me.
G#
And if the sun comes up tomorrow,
F#
Let her be.
[Chorus]
F# C#
Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain.
F# A#m G#
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain.
F# C#
Let her go, let her walk right out on me.
G#~
And if the sun comes up tomorrow,
F#~ C#~
Let her be, oh, let her be
