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

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

[Bridge]
Am F G Am
And I have seen the other side of the mountain
F G Am C Am
Where every queen will be afforded her throne
F G
And I will stand beside my sisters
Am
And all persistent resistors

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