Verse
F Gm
I could raise the crops from the earth

They say that job ain't for her

I could give a new child life
C A# C
But when I fight for my rights
G
They say no woman, no cry
[Pre-Chorus]

But I ain't giving up
F Eb
I can't count on luck
[Chorus]
Gm
I get my hands dirty
Gm
I show up so early
A# C
They show me no mercy
Dm Gm
So I just keep working
F Gm
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
F C
Right now no one serves me
Dm Gm
Maybe their hands are dirty, dirty, dirty, dirty
F# Dm

[Bridge]
Gm Eb F Gm
And I have seen the other side of the mountain
Eb F Gm A# Gm
Where every queen will be afforded her throne

And all persistent resistors

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