The Ladys Not For Sale
Kris Kristofferson
The Lady’s Not for Sale From the album Kristofferson [Intro] Gsus4 G C x2 [Verse 1] She longed to be a lady When she was just a child; But where the grass was greener Lord She done her growin’ wild. Then she tried to spread her tender wings And never left the ground; So she turned to dreams at sweet sixteen And woke up coming down. [Chorus] But she tries in her way climbing higher And she dies each time she fails; So give her a home or leave her alone; The lady’s not for sale. [Interlude] Gsus4 G C x2 [Verse 2] She ain’t ashamed to show her soul She’ll sell it for a song. But free don’t mean she’s easy Or right for going wrong. So let her be the lady Lord She wants so bad to be; And let her win the gentle man That she was born to please. [Chorus] ’Cause she tries climbing higher And she dies each time she fails; So give her a home or leave her alone; The lady’s not for sale. [Outro] Gsus4 G C x4
