Verse
D Em
I could raise the crops from the earth
Em
I could raise my children from birth
A G
But when I'm looking for work
A Em
They say that job ain't for her
A Em
I could be a good mans wife
Em
I could give a new child life
A G A
But when I fight for my rights
E
They say no woman, no cry
[Pre-Chorus]
A
But I ain't giving up
D C
I can't count on luck
[Chorus]
Em
I get my hands dirty
Em
I show up so early
G A
They show me no mercy
Bm Em
So I just keep working
D Em
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
D A
Right now no one serves me
Bm Em
Maybe their hands are dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty
D# Bm
[Verse 2]
Em
I could lead impossible missions
Em
I could occupy the highest position
D G
But when I ask them to listen
A Em A
They disregard my opinion
Em
Well, I ain't askin' no more
Em
I will command the floor
D G
I'm breaking every glass ceiling
A Em
I'm building sky scraping buildings
[Pre-Chorus]
A
When that next storm comes
D C
I'll do what I've always done
[Chorus]
D Em
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
A
They show me no mercy
Bm Em G
So I just keep working
A G Em
Maybe God could save me
Em
Or my boss might pay me

Bm I so unworthy?
Bm Em
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty?

[Bridge]
Em C D Em
And I have seen the other side of the mountain
C D Em G Em
Where every queen will be afforded her throne
C D
And I will stand beside my sisters
Em
And all persistent resistors
C
They'll say I knew it would come true
D
And I'll say 'darling, me too'
[Chorus]
