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

I could occupy the highest position

They disregard my opinion
A#m
Well, I ain't askin' no more

I'm building sky scraping buildings

When that next storm comes

I'll do what I've always done

[Bridge]
A#m Gb G# A#m
And I have seen the other side of the mountain
Gb G# A#m C# A#m
Where every queen will be afforded her throne

They'll say I knew it would come true
G#
And I'll say 'darling, me too'
