If I Had A Girl

Gm


[Verse]
      Gm                                       D7
I'm a rock, I'm an island and I need no one to love me
       Gm                                    D7
At the end of the world, there'll be no man above me
       Eb                    Gm
I work the live long day, to do things my way
         Eb          D7               Gm
But if I had a girl, I would tell her this


[Verse]
          Gm                                        D7
Oh yeah, "no" means "no", but your skirt comes into question
         Gm                                 D7
That you ask for it, will be the whore's suggestion
       Eb                         Gm
You'll work the live long day, to take home half the pay
        Eb          D7               Gm   N.C.
So if I had a girl, I would tell her this


[Chorus]
             Gm
You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster
      Eb
Don't take no shit off no lord, no master
      Cm                                  D7
Don't listen when they see how far you've gone
         Gm
Cos' you go to work and you raise the babies
        Eb
And you work some more, now listen ladies
       Cm                      D7          Gm
If you think we're done, we've only just begun


[Interlude]
Gm


[Verse]
         Gm                                         D7
Well you go to school and they tell you that you're equal
           Gm                                      D7
But in the big wide world that just means half the people
    Eb                                      Gm
And one thing you don't see, there ain't no dicks on page three
          Eb           D7                Gm
So if you have a girl, please remind her this


[Chorus]
              Gm
You gotta be bolder, better, harder, faster
      Eb
Don't take no shit off no lord, no master
      Cm                                  D7
Don't listen when they see how far you've gone
         Gm
Cos' you go to work and you raise the babies
        Eb
And you work some more, now listen ladies
       Cm                      D7          Gm
If you think we're done, we've only just begun
       Eb                      D7          Gm
If you think we're done, we've only just begun
           Eb                      D7          Gm
And if you think we're done, we've only just begun


[Bridge]
Gm
  We've only got started

  We've only got started

  We've only got started

  So far to go, so far to go


[Coda]
Eb                                    D7
  And if I wear my skirt short, don't mean I don't have a brain
         Eb                                   D7
  And if cover myself from head to toe, don't mean that I'm in chains
  Eb                           D7
  I don't have to hate men, to know that life ain't fair
        Eb                                 D7
  Now I see how far we've got to go, but I know, I know, I know...
             Gm
  I will get there
