The Ladys Not For Sale chords by Kris Kristofferson

The Lady's Not for Sale
From the album Kristofferson

Intro:
Gsus4 G C x2

Verse 1:
G
She longed to be a lady,
C                        G
   When she was just a child;
C                            G       Em
   But where the grass was greener, Lord
A7                       D   Dsus4 D
   She done her growin' wild.
           G
Then she tried to spread her tender wings,
C                       G
   And never left the ground;
        C          D    G              Em
So she turned to dreams   at sweet sixteen
C       D              G
   And woke up coming down.

Chorus:
          C                        G   Gsus4 G
But she tries in her way climbing higher,
         A7                  D  Dsus4 D
And she dies each time she fails;
    C               G              Em
So give her a home, or leave her alone;
C       D
   The lady's not for sale.

Interlude:
Gsus4 G C x2

Verse 2:
     G
She ain't ashamed to show her soul,
C                        G
   She'll sell it for a song.
C                             G   Em
   But free don't mean she's easy
A7                      D
   Or right for going wrong.
    G
So let her be the lady, Lord,
     C               G
She wants so bad to be;
     C       D  G            Em
And let her win   the gentle man
C        D                G
   That she was born to please.

Chorus:
             C             G  Gsus4 G
'Cause she tries climbing higher,
         A7                  D
And she dies each time she fails;
    C               G              Em
So give her a home, or leave her alone;
C       D
   The lady's not for sale.
