Misc Unsigned Bands – Donnell Mclachlan - Her Name (Ukulele)

C                  F  
I don't know her name

Am                          G                 
But she got abused by that man again

               C 
But what'd she say?

         F
"I'm not crying. 

    Am       G
I'm fine."

           C
So we said okay.

              F
And we walked away.

                 Am                 G   
And we said we'd pray that she gets better

                  C
But what we don't know

                        F
Is that she crossed the road

             Am           G
Inside she's dying, she's dying 

        C             F                Am                G 
And the broken pieces of her heart scatter the floor all about her

           C
So we stay away

           F
So we stay away

           Am
So we stay away 

             G 
and we tread lightly

C                  F 
I might know her name

Am                          G
Family, friend or stranger all the same

           C
What can I say or do?

          F
She seems fine

      Am          G
She’s fine.

      Am                   
She's on an island, guilt and shame

   F
No friends no love just suffering

    Am                        G   
She looks to the horizon, an elusive hope remains

      Am               
But beneath the sands, beneath her feet

     F
The skulls of girls, their fate repeats 

       Am        G 
On the island of Silence 

Am
You are not alone

     F
Your mind's not playing tricks on you

   Am                                   G  
If you are hearing this song, you, just know it's not your fault

        Am 
You the victim, you the victor

          F
Trust and know that we are with you

        Am  
We will listen, we'll take action 

         G
We'll uphold you, we’re the salt

C               F
I now know your name

     Am                G
I'll share your story, share your pain 

                 C           F
Please rest your arm over my shoulder 

                Am      G
And we'll start trying 

Am
No you didn’t ask for it

     F
Your peace was never his to own

       Am                            G    
Though you are rendered powerless by no fault of your own

        Am        
You are woman, without limits

           F
Your voice matters, fight against this

        Am
You are greater than the image

     G         
This society’s presented

  Am              G 
I cannot help but share your pain 

             C             F 
I’ll rest my arm over your shoulder 

                Am     G
And we'll start trying
