Verse
A Bm
I could raise the crops from the earth
Bm
I could raise my children from birth
E D
But when I'm looking for work
E Bm
They say that job ain't for her
E Bm
I could be a good mans wife
Bm
I could give a new child life
E D E
But when I fight for my rights
B
They say no woman, no cry
[Pre-Chorus]
E
But I ain't giving up
A G
I can't count on luck
[Chorus]
Bm
I get my hands dirty
Bm
I show up so early
D E
They show me no mercy
F#m Bm
So I just keep working
A Bm
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
A E
Right now no one serves me
F#m Bm
Maybe their hands are dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty
A# F#m
[Verse 2]
Bm
I could lead impossible missions

I could occupy the highest position
A D
But when I ask them to listen
E Bm E
They disregard my opinion
Bm
Well, I ain't askin' no more
Bm
I will command the floor
A D
I'm breaking every glass ceiling
E Bm
I'm building sky scraping buildings
[Pre-Chorus]

When that next storm comes
A G
I'll do what I've always done
[Chorus]
A Bm
I get my hands dirty
I show up so early

They show me no mercy
F#m Bm D
So I just keep working

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

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