The Pirate Queen - Woman chords by Misc Musicals

• Difficulty: Advanced

Key: Am

Am         Caug
Woman I am born
C                 D
What does "woman" mean?
Dm                  Am/E
Must my dreams face scorn
E7              Am
Held back and unseen
              Caug
If I long for fire
C              D
Must it stay unreal?
Dm          A/E
Can I not desire?
E7          A
Am I not to feel?
A            D
If I ache to taste
Dm          A
Am I not to try?
A                D
If my heart says sail
Dm           E
Why must I deny?
          A
I have my dreams
            E
I have made plans
         A               D
I see horizons wide as a man's
          A/E              E          A
Must I be nothing till I'm some man's wife?

Look at this face
        E
Does it deceive?
          A                   D
Do I look made to milk and to weave?
          A                 E    D     A
I will be damned to Hell if that is my life!
(Interlude)
E F#m Amaj7/E D A/E E A
Tiernan,
Am              Caug
I'm almost your age,
C                 D
I'm your match in size,
Dm                  A/E
I'm your match with swords
E7               A    B
An equal in most eyes
                    E     A
But when you have a dream
                          D    G
And you're caught in it's grip
                       C
You can climb aboard a ship
    B
You can -
    Em      D        G    B
You can for you're a man
                          E      A
You can reach toward that place
                          D    G
Where the earth meets the sky
                  C         B
Fight a battle be brave, be true
   Em      D      G       F#  E    B
If you can do it, why not I?
                 F#
I'm meant to fly
                 B
Sail unrestrained
                          E
Why is man free and woman chained?
           B         F#     B
Is that my epitaph before I die?

I should be free
           F#
Free to be Grace
          G#m                 E
I want to feel the wind on my face!
              B                 F#
And when life beckons, I should go
E            B                 F#
Face out the storm, not stay below
E       B              F#      B  C# Em B
Am I to be just woman? No! Not I!
