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

When that next storm comes
B A
I'll do what I've always done
[Chorus]

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
F#
They show me no mercy
G#m C#m E
So I just keep working

Or my boss might pay me

Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty?

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