Verse 1:
       C minorCm  G minorGm
I've paid my dues
      C minorCm  G minorGm
Time after time
       C minorCm   G minorGm
I've done my sentence
         C minorCm  G minorGm
But committed no crime
      Eb MajorEb   AbAb
And bad mistakes
      Eb MajorEb   AbAb
I've made a few
      Eb5Eb5      Bb/DBb/D     C5C5
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
  F5F5    Bb5Bb5    C5C5
But I've come through

Chorus:
FF  Fill1 A minorAm      D5D5  DmDm  Bb5Bb5 C5C5
We are the champions, my friends
  FF   Fill2  A minorAm        Bb majorBb  Fill3
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
G minorGm     C majorC
We are the champions
Bb majorBb   Fill4
We are the champions
FF      G5G5
No time for losers
    AbAb     Bb majorBb    C7sus4C7sus4
'Cause we are the champions
    FF
Of the world


Verse 2:
       C minorCm  G minorGm
I've taken my bows
        C minorCm  G minorGm
And my curtain calls
        C minorCm          G minorGm
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
      C minorCm  G minorGm
I thank you all
            Eb MajorEb   AbAb
But it's been no bed of roses
      Eb MajorEb   AbAb
No pleasure cruise
        Eb5Eb5         Bb/DBb/D    C5C5
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
  F5F5      Bb5Bb5  C5C5
And I ain't gonna lose


Chorus:

FF  Fill1 A minorAm      D5D5  DmDm  Bb5Bb5 C5C5
We are the champions, my friends
  FF   Fill2  A minorAm        Bb majorBb  Fill3
And we'll keep on fighting till the end
G minorGm     C majorC
We are the champions
Bb majorBb   Fill4
We are the champions
FF      G5G5
No time for losers
    AbAb     Bb majorBb    C7sus4C7sus4
'Cause we are the champions

And we'll keep on fighting till the end
G minorGm     C majorC
We are the champions
Bb majorBb   Fill4
We are the champions
FF      G5G5
No time for losers
    AbAb     Bb majorBb    C7sus4C7sus4
'Cause we are the champions...
