 I am woman hear me roar 
 4  -3  4  -4   -4 -4  5  6
In numbers too big to ignore
 6 -6  -7  -6   6    5 -7  -6   6  6 5-4
and I know too much to go back to pretend
  -3    4    -4   -4 -4   5-4
`Cause I`ve heard it all before
 4   -3   4    -4   -4   -4  5    6
and I`ve been down there on the floor
 6  -6   -7-6  6 6   -7  6    6  -6-6
No-one`s ever gonna keep me down again

  Oh   yes I`m wise but it`s wisdom born of pain

If I have to I can do anything,I am strong

I am invicible, I Am Woman

2.
You can bend but never break me
`Cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
`Cause you`ve deepened the conviction of my soul
3.
I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin` arms across the land
But I`m still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand
-3 4 7 b-7 6-5   4 -4  7 b-7 6-5  4 -4 7  b-7 6-5
I AM WO--MAN     I AM WO--MAN     I AM WO--MAN

A song for the Ladies (There are a lot of lady 
harp players out there)
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
