This is the latest version being sung live by Darius Rucker.
He changed the lyrics a little bit. 


G                   D     Cadd9
She sits alone by a lamp post,
                                             G
trying to find a thought that?s escaped her mind
                          D           Cadd9
She says Dad?s the one I love the most 
                          G
Michael Stipe?s not far behind
                     D
She never lets me in only tell me where?s she?s been 
Cadd9                        G
when she?s had too much to drink
                               D
I say that I don?t care I just run my hands through her dark hair 
    Cadd9                               G
And I pray to God you gotta help me fly away, And just?

CHORUS 

C           G
Let her cry?if the tears fall down like rain
C                  Em    G       D
Let her sing?if it eases all her pain
        C      G
Let her go?    let her walk right out on me
           D
And if the sun comes up tomorrow
Cadd9         G
Let her be?   let her be.

Interlude: G D Cadd9 G

G                             D
This morning I woke up alone, found a note standin' by the phone
       Cadd9              G
saying maybe I?ll be back someday, I wanted to look for you
           D
You walked in I didn?t know just what to do
   Cadd9                          
so I sat back down had a beer and a bottle of Jim Beam and
G
felt sorry for myself and just...

-Chorus-

Interlude: G D Cadd9 G D Cadd9

-Chorus-

G                               D
Last night I tried to leave She cried so much I just could not believe
        Cadd9                                   G
she was the same girl I fell in love with long ago
                                  D            
She went in the back to get high I sat down on my couch and I cried
       Cadd9                                                        
for my mamma I said mamma please, 
             G
please won?t you take me outta here now, she said...

-Chorus-
