Intro: | A | C#m | D | E | E

Vs.1
         A                              C#m
It's her first night on the town, since she was just 18.
  D                      E     
A lady down on love, and out of hopes and dreams.
    A                         C#m
The ties that once bound her, now are broke away away.
    D                       E               A
And she's just like a baby, learning how to play.


Vs.2
She never thought that love, could ever end so soon.
Her mind drifts back in time, to a mid-summer moon.
When he ask her to marry, and she gladly said OK.
And a woman came to be, from the girl of yesterday.


Chorus:
    A       C#m   D       A
Now she's a lady, down on love.
 A           C#m        D              A
She needs somebody, to gently pick her up.
 F#m            C#m              D         A
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound.
     D                       E                 A
To a man who would love her, and never let her down.


*No Capo
*You can change the key other ways, this is just easiest for me.

Bridge:
 C                           Em
Well I know the lady, that's down on her love.
      F                       G
Cause I used to hold her, and have that special touch.
    C                  Em
But work took me away, from home late at night.
    F                    G
And I wasn't there, when she turned out the lights.
     C                          Em
Then both of us got lonely, and I gave into lust.
    F                              G                C
And she just couldn't live, with a man she couldn't trust.


Chorus:
    C       Em    F       C
Now she's a lady, down on love.
 C            Em       F               C
She needs somebody, to gently pick her up.
 Am            Em                F         C
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound.
     F                       G                 C
To a man who would love her, and never let her down.


Outro:  
    C       Em        F       C       | C | Em | F | C |
Now she's a lady....  Down on love.
