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