{Intro}
F#* G* A* D* A* G*
[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
[Bridge]
