[Intro 1]
[F#m][G][A]
[D][A][G]

[Verse 1]
[F#m]They said that times
were hard for hon[D]est [G]men
But she [A]didn't give a damn
because she wasn't one of them
I don't [D]mean to imply that
she ever told a lie
But she was [G]raised in the harem and
told to keep [D]quiet[F#m][D]

[Verse 2]
She [D]isn't going to [G]hide her
[A]face anymor[D]e
She isn't going [A]to know her
[G]place anymore

[Verse 3]
[G]Married [F#m]off young an[D]d set
[G]aside
[A]Huda always burned bright,
she wasn't one to hide
She [D]taught herself languages and poetry
[A]She[G] taught herself to speak
so she could set herself free
[F#m]Look on her works, ye m[D]ighty m[G]en
She [A]opened up the harem,
[D]they can't [A]close it up again
She [D]stepped off a ledge
and let herself fall free
[A]She[G] stepped off the train
and into [D]history

[Verse 4]
She [D]isn't going to [G]hide her
[A]face anymor[D]e
She isn't going [A]to know her
[G]place anymore

[Verse 5]
[F#m]
She [D]isn't going to [G]hide her
[A]face anymor[D]e
She isn't going [A]to know [G]her place anymore

[Verse 6]
[Bm]Huda Sha'arawi was the Lioness' name
[A]A h[D]eart well fed, eyes aflame
[A]A face uncovered showing
what she over[D]came
[G]Huda is the Lioness,
she won't be [D]tamed

[Verse 7]
She [D]isn't going to hide her
[G]face any[Bm]more
She isn't going to know her
[G]place anymor[D]e

[Verse 8]
[D]She isn't going to hide [G]her face anymore
[Bm]She isn't going to know her
[G]place anymor[D]e
(She isn't going to hide
[G]her[A] face)
Everyone should know her [D]name
(She isn't going to [A]know [G]her place)
The Lioness will not be [D]tamed
(She isn't going to hide her
[G]fac[A]e)
Everyone should know her [D]name
(She isn't going to [A]know [G]her place)
The Lioness will not be [D]tamed
