C#m             E
Th# woman she knows
      A           G#m   F#m           A      H    G#
The story of heartbreak beneath the weight of day

C#m               E
She's seen the hate
      A      G#m      F#m           A    H    G#
On people's faces dark skin her only d#grace

[Chorus]
G#           C#m     A    F#m  G#
She cries help me please
     C#m      A    F#m  G#
Lord help me please

[Verse 2]
C#m               E
Her children she taught them
 A         G#m         F#m      A    H    G#
How to be proud in the face of adversity

C#m               E
She gave them the love, respect and understanding
A       G#m     F#m        A    H    G#
Showing them The way to be free

[Chorus]
     C#m      A    F#m  G#
Lord help her please
     C#m      A    F#m  G#
Lord help her please
       F#m
Lord, please

[Bridge]
C#m E  A  G#m  F#m  A  H  G# (2x)

[Verse 3]
C#m          E
She stands tall
 A         G#m         F#m      A          H    G#
High as a mountain her heart as deep as the sea

C#m     E      A         G#m
She's known hardship and sorrow
    F#m           A          H    G#
That brought her down on her knees

[Chorus]
     C#m      A    F#m  G#
Lord help her please
     C#m      A    F#m  G#
Lord help her please
     C#m      A    F#m  G#
Lord help her please
      F#m
Lord please
