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.
