I Am Woman

G C Bm Em C G C D

     G              C
I am woman, hear me roar,
   Bm                   Em
in numbers too big to ignore;
      C                G              C D
and I know too much to go back and pretend
            G              C
'Cause I've heard it all before,
              Bm                Em
and I've been down there on the floor;
         C          G             D    C/D
no one's ever gonna keep me down again

    F
Oh, yes I am wise;
         Bb             F
but it's wisdom born of pain
F
Yes, I've paid the price;
    Bb              Am
but look how much I gained
     F        Bb       Am
If I have to, I can do anything
     Gm
I am strong, (strong)
       F
I am invincible, (invincible)
     Bb  G
I am woman

        G              C
You can bend but never break me,
          Bm             Em
'Cause it only serves to make me;
       C            G               C D
more determined to achieve my final goal
      G              C
And I come back even stronger,
      Bm         Em
not a novice any longer;
              C               G             D   C/D
'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

    F
Oh, yes I am wise;
         Bb             F
but it's wisdom born of pain
F
Yes, I've paid the price;
    Bb              Am
but look how much I gained

     F        Bb       Am
If I have to, I can do anything

     Gm
I am strong, (strong)
       F
I am invincible, (invincible)
     Bb  G
I am woman

     G              C
I am woman watch me grow,
       Bm              Em
see me standing toe to toe;
     C                G               C D
as I spread my lovin' arms across the land
        G            C
But I'm still an embryo,
       Bm               Em
with a long long way to go;
  C             G            D   C/D
until I make my brother understand

    F
Oh, yes I am wise;
         Bb             F
but it's wisdom born of pain
F
Yes, I've paid the price;
    Bb              Am
but look how much I gained
     F        Bb       Am
If I have to, I can do anything
     Gm
I am strong, (strong)
       F
I am invincible, (invincible)
     Bb  G
I am woman
     Gm
I am strong, (strong)
       F
