GIn a cBmourtyard
EmUsed to siBmng as loud as she could
GLocked away hBmere
EmShe's been quieBmt, lovely and good

CBut no one listenDs now
BmShe lost her voice
CShe had no choice

CHORUS

EmIf youC sing loud and clearD
EmSomeone passing by will surely hear you
EmNo you cCan't be afraDid
EmIf you ever want somebody near you
EmIf youC sing loud and clearD
EmSomeone passing by will surely hear you
EmNo you caCn't be afraiDd


GTore the curtBmain
EmPut her haBmnd outside of the frame
GLet her haBmir down
EmSat all Bmday and nobody came

CBut when the sun wenDt down
BmThe stars came out
CShe heard them shout

CHORUS

Instrumental: Em C D (as chorus)

CBut when the sun wenDt down

BmThe stars came out
CShe heard them shout

CHORUS

End on Em, or however you'd like. :)
