Golden Age chords by J. Maya

🎸 Intro:

Am   G   F   Dm



🎸 Verse 1:
Am
Circe was divine
   G
A tale of pearls before the swine
      Dm                      G
An empress, a brilliant sorceress
     Am
And then a lover scorned
            G
And that's how the story's told
          Dm                   F
Hold the rest, they stole the magic
    Am
And Sita's archetype:
             G
The perfect image of a wife
Dm                    F
Did we ignore the fire in her soul?
   Am
Remember Amy's plea
             G
I know the poets disagree
                 Dm                  F
When it comes to love, did we even have control?

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
       Dm    F
They think know us
              Am                G
Because they wrote the history books

🎸 Chorus:
               Am
Here's to the women (women)
     G                Dm
Who don't ever seem to get a say
                        F
In how their pages get portrayed
               Am
Here's to the women
     G                   Dm
Who know everything the poets say
            F
And be a menace anyway
       Am
The historians who looked away
G
The game was set before it played
         Dm
We're breaking out behind the cage
         F
'Cause that's some **** that we won't take
     Am
The women
      G                  Dm
Who wrote stories in the roads they paved
                           Bb       Am   G   Dm   F
We're bringing back their golden age
                    Am   G   Dm   F
This is our golden age

🎸 Verse 2:
   Am                             G
A pretty penny prize without a thought behind the eyes
                Dm
We don't get a say: it's "in our DNA"
        Am                  G
'Cause they refuse to see beyond commodities
           Dm                        F
We can be sweet with a vicious streak: call that dichotomy

🎸 Pre-Chorus:
      Dm         F
They think they own us
              Am                        G
But now we're taking back the history books

🎸 Chorus:
               Am
Here's to the women (women)
     G                Dm
Who don't ever seem to get a say
                        F
In how their pages get portrayed
               Am
Here's to the women
     G                   Dm
Who know everything the poets say
            F
And be a menace anyway
       Am
The historians who looked away
      G
The game was set before it played
         Dm
We're breaking out behind the cage
F
'Cause that's some **** that we won't take
     Am
The women
      G                  Dm
Who wrote stories in the roads they paved
                           Bb
We're bringing back their golden age

🎸 Outro:
Am                       G
Queens wear more than just their crowns
        Dm
They keep castles from crumbling down
      Am                G
Yeah, you can't keep us on the ground
       Dm
We're coming for your kingdom now
Am                       G
Queens wear more than just their crowns
        Dm
They keep castles from crumbling down
      Am                G
Yeah, you can't keep us on the ground
       Dm
We're coming for your kingdom now
