Intro:

G  Am7 (x3)

Verse 1:

D              G       A
 Hey there you lady in tears,
       G               C      
Do you think that they care, if 
          Em    D      D7
they're real, woman?
          G          C           
They just take it as part of the 
Em
deal.

Verse 2:

D             G                  
 Lost in your men, and the games 
         A
that you play.
G                C           Em 
 Trying to prove that you're 
     D     D7
better, woman.
        G           C     Em
But you needn't get heavy with them.
D           G          A        
 Like it or not, we're built 
                  D     D7
tough, because we're women.

Bridge 1:

G             F       Em
 No, we never die for long,
G                            F   
 While we've got that little life
    Cm7
 to live for.
                  G        F
Where it's hid in-side, no,
         Am               Dm
We never die for long, oh-woman, two
 in one.

Continues after the ad
Chorus 1:

        G          C            
There's room for a life in your 
Em    D
womb, woman.
G          C           Em   D
 Inside of you, can be two, woman.
        G          C            
There's room for a life in your 
Em    D      G  C  D
womb, woman...
D             G
 Mama woman-A-ha.

Interlude:

G  Am7 (x3)

Verse 3:

D            G             A
 Night after night, in the quiet 
house,
G             C           Em    
 Plaiting her hair by the fire, 
D     D7
woman.
        G        C           Em
With no lover to free her de-sire.
    D           G             A
How long do you think she can stick 
it out?
    G           C             Em 
How long do you think, before 
            D     D7
she'll go out, woman?
        G          C           Em
Hey get up on your feet and go get 
it now.
D           G            A      
 Like it or not, we keep 
                      D     D7
bouncing back; because we're women.

Bridge 2:

G             F       Em
 No, we never die for long,
G                            F   
 While we've got that little life
    Cm7
 to live for.
                  G        F
Where it's hid in-side, no,
         Am               Dm
We never die for long, oh-woman, two
 in one.

Chorus 2:

        G          C            
There's room for a life in your 
Em    D
womb, woman.
G          C           Em   D
 Inside of you, can be two, woman.

There's room for a life in your 
Em    D      G  C  D
womb, woman...
