Intro: G D Am Em
 
verse 1 
         G                          D 
With her grandmother’s face and her father's brown eyes 
    Am                       Em 
Her own force of will to her mother’s surprise 
  G                         D 
A whole look about her that says that she may 
    Am                      Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away 
 

[Refrão]
    G                 D 
She floated away, she floated away 
     Am                     Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away 
     G                         D 
She don’t give a damn what the other girls say 
     Am                      Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away 

verse 2 
        G                        D 
“Let me talk to you Mother," she tried to confess 
 Am                   Em 
“Go ahead, honey, and wear the white dress 
G                       D 
Don’t let traditions go stand in your way" 
    Am                       Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away 


[Refrão]
    G                 D 
She floated away, she floated away 
     Am                     Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away 
    G                          D 
She don’t give a damn what the other girls say 
    Am                      Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away 

verse 3 
        G                        D 
Well, a man has two reasons for things that he does 
    Am                         Em 
The first one is pride and the second one is love 
G                       D 
All understandings must come by this way 
    Am                      Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away 


[Refrão]
    G                  D 
She floated away, she floated away 
    Am                      Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away 
    G                          D 
She don’t give a damn what the other girls say 
     Am                     Em 
She lifted her arms and she floated away
