Ain't I A Woman chords by Priscilla Herdman

Verse 1:
Em                            Am
Well that man over there says women
          Em
need to be helped into carriages

and lifted over ditches
       Em                  Am
and to have the best place everywhere

     Em                 Am                   Em
Well nobody ever helped me into carriages or over mud puddles,

   Am               Em
or give me any best place

Em            Am      Em        Am
and ain't I a woman? (ain't I a woman?)

Em                     Am
Look at me, look at my arms

Verse 2:

       Em                     Am
I have plowed and planted and gathered into barns

and no man could head me

    Em        Am      Em        Am
and ain't I a woman? (ain't I a woman?)

Verse 3:
        Em                Am
I could work as much, and eat as much as a man
when I could get it
    Em               Am
and bear the lash as well
         Em        Am      Em        Am
and now ain't I a woman? (ain't I a woman?)

Verse 4:
     Em                  Am
I've borne five children seen most all of them
sold off into slavery
    Em                      Am
and when I cried out with a mother's grief
Em             Am
none but Jesus heard me
Em             Am
none but Jesus heard me
    Em        Am      Em        Am
and ain't I a woman? (ain't I a woman?)

Verse 5:
Em
And that man says
      Am
that women can't have as much rights as a man
Em                    Am
cause Christ wasn't a woman
Em                    Am
cause Christ wasn't a woman
Em             Am          Em
where did your Christ come from?
Em             Am          Em
where did your Christ come from?
     Em        Am
from God and a woman
     Em        Am
from God and a woman
Em
