Lyrics

She walks to (G)school with the (Am)lunch she packed.

No bod y (G)knows what (Am)she’s hold in’ back.

Wear in’ the (G)same dress she (Am)wore yes ter day,

she hides the (G)bruis es with the (Am)lin en and lace, oh.

The teach er (G)won ders, but (Am)she dle does n’t ask.

It’s hard to (G)see the pain be (Am)hind the mask.

Bear ing the (G)bur den of a (Am)se cret storm,

some times she (G)wish es she was (Am)nev er born.

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can’t rise a bove.

But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she’s loved.

(D)Con crete an gel.

Some bod y (G)cries in the (Am)mid dle of the night.

The neigh bors (G)hear, but they turn (Am)out the lights.

A frag ile (G)soul caught in the (Am)hands of fate.

When morn ing (G)comes, es it ’ll (Am)be too late.

Through the wind and the rain she stands hard as a stone in a world that she can’t rise a bove.

But her dreams give her wings and she flies to a place where she’s loved.

(D)Con crete an gel.

Is there a karaoke version of "Concrete Angel" with lyrics?
Yes — this is a free karaoke slide for "Concrete Angel" by Martina McBride. The lyrics appear on screen a line at a time and each word lights up exactly when it's sung, with a bouncing ball leading you word to word. A backing plays underneath so you can just sing.
Does it show chords so I can play along on guitar or piano?
It does — a chord symbol sits on a thin row just above the lyric it changes on, so the same screen doubles as a lyrics-and-chords chart. Guitarists can strum the changes and pianists can comp while singing; the chords are colour-coded and move with the live transpose if you change key.
Can I change the key of "Concrete Angel" to match my voice or capo?
Yes. The original is in C, but the live transpose control shifts the whole song up or down semitones until the melody sits in your range (or maps to an easier guitar shape / capo position) — the on-screen chords and the backing move with it.
Can I slow "Concrete Angel" down to learn the words and chords?
Yes — the tempo control lets you take it as slow as you need while the lyrics still light up in time and the ball keeps you on the beat. Speed it back up once you can sing and play it through.
