G Bm7 C D7 [Verse 1]
         G                             Bm7
It's her first night on the town since she was just eighteen

  C                     D7
A lady down on love and out of hope and dreams

    G                        Bm7
The ties that once bound her now are broke away

    C                       D7              G
And she's like a baby, just learning how to play

    G                             Bm7
She never thought that love could ever end so soon

    C                             D7
Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon

     G                             Bm7
When he asked her to marry and she gladly said okay

      C                         D7      G           C G
And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday
[Chorus]
     G       Bm7  C       G
Now, she's a lady down on love

G             Bm7     C               G    G F#
She needs somebody to gently pick her up

Em            Bm7                C         G
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound

     C                     D7                 G
To a man who would love her and never let her down
KEY CHANGE TO A [Verse 2]
      A                    C#m7
Well, I know a lady that's down on her love

       D                      E7
'Cause I used to hold her and have that special touch

    A                       C#m7
But work took me a way from home late at nights

    D                   E7
And I wasn't there when she turned out the lights

     A                         C#m7
Then both of us got lonely and I gave into lust

    D                             E7               A        D A
And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust
[Chorus]
     A       C#m7 D       A
Now, she's a lady down on love

A             C#m7     D               A    A G#
She needs somebody to gently pick her up

F#m            C#m7               D         A
She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound

     D                     E7                 A
To a man who would love her and never let her down

     A       C#m7 D       A
Now, she's a lady down on love
