G C G There's a girl in a barroom we all know her well A7 D7 Her name fits the stories that some men like to tell G C She may be young and pretty with lips red as wine G D7 G A girl who's eyes reflect the years no make-up can hide C G In her world walk the lonely the rejected and condemned A7 D7 It's a world that once entered there's no turning back again G C G Like a rose that lies crushed and crumpled on the sand D7 G She was created by heaven now destroyed by man C G Destroyed by man and the love that she gave A7 D7 Lost unless heaven counts her worthy to save C G Men don't respect her still they hold her hand D7 G She was created by heaven now destroyed by man
