v1)      G5                      D5
      She sits alone by a lampo-ost
      C5                                           G5 
      Trying to find a thought that's escaped her mind
      G5                               D5
      She says there's the one I love the most
      C5                   G5
      his type's not far behind


      G5                  D5
      She never lets me in      only tells me where she's been
      C5                         G5
      when she's had to much to drink
      G5                                D5
      I say that I don't care   I just run my hands through her dark hair
      C5                                          G5
      then I pray to God, "You gotta help me fly away"   (and just)


              C5              G5
      let her cry      if the tears fall down like rain
              C5             E5      G5      D5
      let her sing      If it eases all her pain
              C5               G5
      let her go      let her walk right out on me
                   D5
      and if the sun comes up tomorrow, 
                C5             G5
      let her be,   let her be 
      G5      D5    C5    G5
      4 bars solo

verse 2

      This morning I woke up alone    found a note standing by the phone

      saying "maybe, maybe I'll be back someday"

      I wanted to look for you

      you walked in, I didn't know just what I should do

      So, I sat back down, had a beer and felt sorry for myself

      chorus

      solo - 8 bars over verse

      chorus

verse 3

      last night I tried to leave

      cried so much I could not beleive

      she was the same girl I fell in love with long ago

      she went in the back to get high

      I sat down on my couch and cried yelling

      "Whoa Lord whoa, please help me.  Won't you hold my hand"

      chorus - ends differently as....
                   D5                              G5
      and if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be

      chorus
