The Lady's Not for Sale
From the album Kristofferson

Intro:
Gsus4Gsus4 G+G C majorC x2

Verse 1:
G+G
She longed to be a lady,
C majorC            G+G
  When she was just a child;
C majorC              G+G    E minorEm
  But where the grass was greener, Lord
A7A7            D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
  She done her growin' wild.
      G+G
Then she tried to spread her tender wings,
C majorC            G+G
  And never left the ground;
    C majorC     D MajorD  G+G       E minorEm
So she turned to dreams  at sweet sixteen
C majorC    D MajorD       G+G
  And woke up coming down.

Chorus:
     C majorC            G+G  Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
But she tries in her way climbing higher,
     A7A7         D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And she dies each time she fails;
  C majorC        G+G       E minorEm
So give her a home, or leave her alone;
C majorC    D MajorD
  The lady's not for sale.

Interlude:
Gsus4Gsus4 G+G C majorC x2

Verse 2:
   G+G
She ain't ashamed to show her soul,
C majorC            G+G
  She'll sell it for a song.
C majorC               G+G  E minorEm
  But free don't mean she's easy
A7A7           D MajorD
  Or right for going wrong.
  G+G
So let her be the lady, Lord,
   C majorC        G+G
She wants so bad to be;
   C majorC    D MajorD G+G      E minorEm
And let her win  the gentle man
C majorC    D MajorD        G+G
  That she was born to please.

Chorus:
       C majorC       G+G Gsus4Gsus4 G+G
'Cause she tries climbing higher,
     A7A7         D MajorD
And she dies each time she fails;
  C majorC        G+G       E minorEm
So give her a home, or leave her alone;
C majorC    D MajorD
  The lady's not for sale.
