[Intro]

(riff)
| D   A | G    A | D   A | G    A |
                            (So at last ...)


[Verse]
  [ A ] D    A       G
 So at  last, you're free 
         D                 A  G 
It's the way you wanted it to be 
    A   D    A    G 
And the price you paid 
   D                 A G 
To become a woman of today 


[Bridge]
      D          A                        C   Em
Is it worth, the pain to see the children cry?
        G 
Does it hurt, when they ask for Daddy?


[Chorus]
D    A   G       F C  
Hey, hey Helen
D        A            G     C F 
 Now you live on your own 
D    A   G       F C/E
Hey, hey Helen
D        A        G      F       C     | D | % |
 Can you make it alone? (Yes you can)  (break)


[Verse]
[ G  A ]    D           A   G
  So you're free (ah-ha) at last (pretty woman) 
      D                 A   G 
And beginning to forget the past (lucky woman) 
[G    A ] D           A    G
 Does it  make (ah-ha) you sad (pretty lonely) 
         D                   A    G 
When you think about the life you ha-ha-had 


[Bridge]
           D          A                    C     Em
But you're right; you had to take a second chance 
       G 
So you fight to find your freedom 


[Chorus]
D    A   G       F C  
Hey, hey Helen
D        A            G     F C/E 
 Now you live on your own 
D    A   G       C F
Hey, hey Helen
D        A        G     F C/E 
 Can you make it alone? 
D    A   G       F C  
Hey, hey Helen
D           A           G     F C/E 
 What's the matter with you? 
D    A   G       F C/E
Hey, hey Helen
D         A            G    F      C     D
Don't you know what to do?   (Yes, you do)

 Can you make it alone?
