Intro  C  Dm  Bb  Am  A  A7  Dm

Verse 1

Dm              C                       Bb      C
She's faced the hardest times you could imagine
    Gm             C                    F     A7  Dm
And many times her eyes fought back the tears
             C                  Bb            Gm
And when her youthful world was about to fall in
     C                Bb        
Each time her slender shoulders 
         C                 Bb
bore the weight of all her fears
      F             C
And a sorrow no one hears
      Bb       C        Gm             D
Still rings in midnight silence in her ears

Chorus 1

        Bb  C       Bb      F
Let her cry.... for she's a lady
        Bb    A7                Dm    Dm7
Let her dream...... for she's a child...
        Bb        Am      Gm       Gm7
Let the rain fall down... upon her
        C               C7     Bb      F    Bb
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

Verse 2

Bb        C        C7     F
And if by chance I should hold her...
Bb     C        C7    F     
Let me hold her for a time...
Dm     Bb           C   F
But if allowed just one possession
Bb                        C      Bb    F    Dm
I would pick her from the garden to be mine.....

Verse 3

Dm         C                 Bb         Gm 
Be careful how you touch her for she'll awaken
    C                C7               F
And sleep's the only freedom that she knows
Dm           C             Gm             Bb
And when you walk into her eyes you won't believe
    C                C7           C              C7
The way she's always paying for a debt she never owes
      C                 C7
And a silent wind still blows
     Bb   Am      Gm       C      D
That only she can hear and so she goes

Chorus 2

        Bb  Gm      Bb      F
Let her cry.... for she's a lady
        Bb        C7      Dm
Let her dream for she's a child
        Bb        Am     Gm  
Let the rain fall down upon her
        C               Bb     C       F        
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

Outro

Let her dream 'cause she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her
