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!
