Guitar chords with lyrics

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."

Penelope Feathington:
"I've come to learn of a woman who is with child”

Eloise Bridgerton:
"With child   Is it a lady or maid ”

Penelope Feathington:
“Maid.”

Eloise Bridgerton:
"I didn't know one of your maids was married "

Penelope Feathington:
"She's not."

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
