[Verse 1]
F#* G* They said that times were hard for honest men
A•
But she didn't give a damn because she wasn't one of them
D* A* I don't mean to imply that she ever told a lie G* But she was raised in the harem and told to keep quiet
[Chorus]
D G A She isn't gonna hide her face anymore D A G She isn't gonna know her place anymore
[Verse 2]
F#* G* Married off young and set aside
A•
Huda always burned bright, she wasn't one to hide
D* A* She taught herself languages and poetry G* She taught herself to speak so she could set herself free F#* G* Look on her works, ye mighty men
A•
She opened up the harem, they can't close it up again
D* A* She stepped off a ledge and let herself fall free G* She stepped off the train and into history
[Chorus]
D G A She isn't gonna hide her face anymore D A G She isn't gonna know her place anymore D G A She isn't gonna hide her face anymore D A G She isn't gonna know her place anymore
