Strong Woman

	  		
verse 1 
C       Am         G         Em 
  When I was young, I wanted to be Jon 
C      Am        G               Em 
  It wasn’t hard, short hair, no curves to speak of 
C        Am        G           Em 
  I could do things I couldn’t do as Jen 
C           Am         G               Em 
  Ride bikes with boys, kiss girls and make some noise 
C  Am  G  Em 
C  Am  G  Em 


verse 2 
C       Am    G       Em 
  I grew to be a young lady 
C         Am            G            Em 
  Catholic Girls School, will try to do that to you 
C      Am      G               Em 
  Never fit in, to love was to live in sin 
C     Am         G              Em 
  So I stood out, I was born to let it out 
C  Am  G  Em 
C  Am  G  Em 

 
     C                            Em 
This world, it wasn’t made for women 
    C           Am            Em 
You know even before you bleeding 
    C                Am           Em 
I’m sorry, can’t you hear me speaking? 
    C              Am             Em 
How is it now, now that I’m screaming? 



verse 3 
C       Am    G        Em 
  I know, I am a strong woman 
C      Am         G                Em 
  Never questioned my strength, it was passed on 
C         Am     G          Em 
  Proud my mother wanted respect more than love 
C        Am     G                Em                 C  Am  G  Em 
  And her mother taught her that she could want for more 
C  Am  G  Em 


     C                Am             Em 
This world, it wasn’t made for women 
    C           Am                Em 
You know even before you bleeding 
    C                Am               Em 
I’m sorry, can’t you hear me speaking? 
    C              Am             Em 
How is it now, now that I’m screaming?

  I know, I am a strong woman 
C      Am         G                Em 
  Never questioned my strength, it was passed on

  Proud my mother wanted respect more than love 
C    Am    G               Em           (mute)
