Key: A Verse 1: A I guess I have to be a lady E Smiling and waving F#m Constantly obeying Bm7 I guess I need a prince To come and save me E7 E Even if I don't need saving A I guess I must sit on a throne I don't own F#m Raising the babies we made all alone Bm7 E A I guess as a lady there's just some things I'll never know
Chorus 1: A But if I were a man I'd go to Japan F#m Maybe swim in the Seine And learn to speak French Bm I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand E And finally, do, what I could, 'cause I can A If I were a man! Dialogue Scene: (Main piano riff plays, can work with just repeating the verse chords) Penеlope Feathington: "Eloise! I must tеll you something." Eloise Bridgerton: "Tell me."

Eloise Bridgerton: "How can she be with child and not married " Penelope Feathington: “Well I don’t know how” Eloise Bridgerton: “Well, you have to find out so it doesn’t happen to us!” Verse 2: A I guess I have to go to banquets E Banquets make me anxious F#m Acting rather shameless Bm7 I guess I need a gown Down past my ankles E Doing up my hair in tangles N.C I guess I have to A "Sit still and look pretty! F#m Dance 'til I'm proper dizzy!" Bm7 Throw away the life E A That I've been missing Chorus 2: A But if I were a man I'd summer in Can! F#m Maybe play in the sand And wear my own pants! Bm I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand E I'd probably fly far away from the nest A If I were a man! Bridge: Em No more ladies and lords Just a world to explore F#m6 And I don’t care if it’s all blood and gore! Am No extravagant balls! Or gentlemen calls! Bm7 B And I don't give a rat if he's handsome and tall Am Bm I don't want to settle and squark B B I'll never leave the nest for a delicate walk B7 Oh! N.C Cm6 What if I, what if I want Bm7 To fly! Chorus 3: A But if I were a man I'd go to Japan F#m Maybe swim in the Seine And learn to speak French Bm7 I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand E And finally do, what I could, but I can't A If I were a man F#m If I were a man! Bm7 I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand E And finally do, what I could, but I can't A If I were a man NOTES: The E chord in choruses one and three is a bridging chord. Also I really struggled with the bridge if anyone can find the correct chords please comment and I'll fix them up!
