I WILL SURVIVE Gloria Gaynor ______Intro: count 1,2,3, … [Am~] At first I was afraid, I was [Dm~] petrified Kept thinking [G7~] I could never live without you [Cmaj7~] by my side But then I [Fmaj7~] spent so many nights thinkin’ [Dm~] how you did me wrong I grew [E7sus4~] strong, I learned [E7~] how to get along … pause … 2,3 [no chord] But now you’re [Am] back ……. from outer [Dm] space I just walked [G7] in to find you here with that sad [Cmaj7] look upon your face I should have [Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock, I should have [Dm] made you leave your key If I'd’ve [E7sus4] known for just one second you'd be [E7] back to bother me
Go on now, [Am] go, … walk out the [Dm] door, Just turn a-[G7]round now, … ‘cause you're not [Cmaj7] welcome anymore [Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Dm] break me with goodbye? Did you think I'd [E7sus4] crumble … did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I, … I will sur-[Dm]vive Oh, as [G7] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live … and I've got [Dm] all my love to give And I'll sur-[E7sus4]vive … I will sur-[E7]vive, … Hey [Am] hey, [Dm] [G7] [Cmaj7], [Fmaj7] [Dm] [E7sus4] [E7] It took [Am] all the strength I had not to [Dm] fall apart Kept trying [G7] hard to mend the pieces of my [Cmaj7] broken heart And I spent [Fmaj7] oh-so many nights just feeling [Dm] sorry for myself I used [E7sus4] to cry …..but now I [E7] hold my head up high
And you see [Am] me, somebody [Dm] new I'm not that [G7] chained-up little person still in [Cmaj7] love with you And so you [Fmaj7] felt like droppin’ in and just ex-[Dm]pect me to be free Well, I'm [E7sus4] savin’ all my lovin' for some-[E7]one who's lovin’ me
Go on now, [Am] go, ….. walk out the [Dm] door Just turn a-[G7]round … now ‘cause you're not [Cmaj7] welcome anymore … [Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Dm] break me with goodbye Did you think I'd [E7sus4] crumble … did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am] I, I will sur-[Dm]vive Oh, as [G7] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live …… and I've got [Dm] all my love to give And I'll sur-[E7sus4]vive ……. I will sur-[E7]vive, … pause … 2,3 Oh! … Repeat and Final line (slowing) end on …… hey, [Am~] hey! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYkACVDFmeg ChippenhamUkulelesBook5Jun19
