1. 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,

                            G                            C

    and I've been down there on the floor;

                    A                 A7                     D       - Bb

    no one's ever gonna keep me down again !

 

         F                                Bb                       F

Oh, yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain,

  F                         Bb                                      Am

yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I gained !

      Bb                        F

If I have to, I can do anything,

           Gm                              F                                       Bb

I am strong, (strong), I am invincible, (invincible), I am woman.

2. 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,

               G               C

    not a novice any longer;

                              A                       A7                  D     - Bb

    'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul.

3. 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,

               G                          C

    with a long, long way to go,

       A                      A7                  D      - Bb

    until I make my brother understand.

 

         F                                Bb                       F

Oh, yes, I am wise, but it's wisdom born of pain,

  F                         Bb                                      Am

yes, I've paid the price, but look how much I gained !

      Bb                          F

If I have to, I can face anything,

           Gm                              F                                       Bb         - F

I am strong, (strong), I am invincible, (invincible), I am woman.

+  I am woman,       I am invincible, I am strong !

             Bb        - F             Bb                     F
