[Verse 1]

G                       D

I sit alone by a lamppost

C                                           G

Trying to find a thought that's escaped my mind

G                               D

I say "Dad's the one I love the most,

C                   G

But you're not far behind!"

[Verse 2]

G                      D

  I'll never let you in - only tells you where I've been

C                            G

  When I've had too much to drink

G                                 D

  I say that I don't care, I just run my hands through my hair, and then I

C                                      G

  Pray to God, "You gotta help me fly away", (and just)

[Verse 3]

G                              D

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

C                             G

  Saying "Baby, maybe I'll be back someday."

G                                      D

  I wanted to look for you; you walked in, I didn't know just what I should do, so I

C                                    G

  Sat back down, had a beer and felt sorry for myself

[Verse 4]

G                             D

  Last night I tried to leave, cried so much I could not believe

C                                          G

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

G                                  D

  I went in the back to get high; I sat down on my couch and cried, yelling

C                       G

  "Oh Mama! Please help me.  Won't you hold my hand?"

[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                              G

And if the sun comes up tomorrow, let her be

        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,

        C               G

Let her be,  oh let her be
