  			intro: 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 
I am invincible, (invincible) 
     Bb  G 
I am woman
