Guitar chords with lyrics

  • Difficulty: Beginner 👶
Verse 1:
F                    C           F
So your grandmother sounds to me
                    C           F
A woman I would be proud to be
                  C               F
And you say she reminds you of me
                    C
Every little boy is so naive


♫ Pre-Chorus:
C                          Am        Em
I will not be a victim of romance
Am                         Em
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Am                        Em              G
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
          Am                   Em       Am  C C F
Who could get his dirty little hands on me

F                   C
So your grandfather sounds like me
F                          C
Head up shoulders back and proud to be
F                     C
Every little girl is so naive
F                         C
Falling in love with the first man that she sees

Who could get his dirty little hands on me

C       F       C
When we were in love (if we were)
F                C
When we were in love

I was an eagle
F              C
And you were a dove


♫ Verse 3:
F            C
Today I will feel something other than regret
F                    C
Pass me a glass and half-smoked cigarette
F                     C
I've damn near got no dignity left
F                     C
I've damn near got no dignity left


♫ Pre-Chorus:
C                          Am        Em
I will not be a victim of romance
Am                         Em
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Am                        Em              G
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
          Am                   Em       Am  C C F
Who could get his dirty little hands on me

I was an eagle

And you were a dove

You were a dove

And I rose above you and preyed
