The Lioness chords by Frank Turner

{Intro}
F#* G* A* D* A* G*


Verse 1:

F#*                                          G*
They said that times were hard for honest men

        A•
But she didn't give a damn because she wasn't one of them

         D*                                  A*
I don't mean to imply that she ever told a lie

          G*
But she was raised in the harem and told to keep quiet

Chorus:

D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face anymore

D               A         G
She isn't gonna know her place anymore


Verse 2:

F#*                           G*
Married off young and set aside

     A•
Huda always burned bright, she wasn't one to hide

      D*                             A*
She taught herself languages and poetry

         G*
She taught herself to speak so she could set herself free

  F#*                          G*
Look on her works, ye mighty men

             A•
She opened up the harem, they can't close it up again

          D*                                 A*
She stepped off a ledge and let herself fall free

       G*
She stepped off the train and into history


Chorus:

D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face anymore

D               A        G
She isn't gonna know her place anymore

D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face anymore

D               A        G
She isn't gonna know her place anymore


Bridge:

{instrumental}
B* C#* D** E* A* D* G* x2


B*                                C#*
Huda Sha'arawi was the Lioness' name

  D**                       E*
A heart well-fed, eyes aflame

  A*                                  D*
A face uncovered showing what she overcame

   G
Huda is the Lioness, she won't be tamed


Chorus:

D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face anymore

D               A        G
She isn't gonna know her place anymore

D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face anymore

D               A        G
She isn't gonna know her place anymore


D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face
(Everyone should know her name)

D               A        G
She isn't gonna know her place
(The Lioness will not be tamed)

D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face
(Everyone should know her name)

D               A        G
She isn't gonna know her place

G
The Lioness will not be tamed
