{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]

{instrumental}
B* C#* D** E* A* D* G* x2

B*                                C#*
Huda Sha'arawi was the Lioness' name
  D**                       E*
A heart well-fed, eyes aflame
  A*                                  D*
A face uncovered showing what she overcame
   G
Huda is the Lioness, she won't be tamed


[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

D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face
(Everyone should know her name)
D               A        G
She isn't gonna know her place
(The Lioness will not be tamed)
D               G        A
She isn't gonna hide her face
(Everyone should know her name)
D               A        G
She isn't gonna know her place
G
The Lioness will not be tamed
