[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 Am 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 Am 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.

Let her cry, if the tears fall down like rain.

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 Am G
Let her sing, if it eases all her pain.

Let her go, let her walk right out on me.

And if the sun comes up tomorrow,

Let her be.
