This is my first time figuring out chords. My first submission was incomplete, I
got some help I've hopefully fixed everything.
- -
Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
- -
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion-model size.
- -
But when I start to tell them, They think I'm tellin' lies.
-
I say, "It's in the reach of my arms,
-
The span of my hips,
-
The stride in my steps,
Bb - G
The curl of my lips."
CHORUS:
I'm a woman Phenomenal woman.
-
I'm a woman. Baby, that's me.
- -
I walk into a room just as cool as you please
- -
And to a man the fellas stand And fall down on their knees.
- -
Then they swarm around me Like a hive of honey bees,
-
I say, "It's in the fire in my eyes,
-
The flash of my teeth,
-
The swing of my waist,
Bb - G
The joy in my feet."
CHORUS:
I'm a woman Phenomenal woman.
-
I'm a woman. Baby, that's me.
BRIDGE
-
It's in the arch of my back,
-
The sun of my smile,
-
The ride of my breast,
-
The grace of my style. (key changes here - up one step)
- -
Now you understand Just why my head's not bowed.
- -
I don't shout or jump about Or have to talk real loud.
- -
But when you see me passin', It oughta make you proud.
-
I say, "It's in click of my heels,
-
The bend of my hair,
-
The palm of my hands,
-
The need for my care."
CHORUS:
'Cause I'm a woman Phenomenal woman.
I'm a woman. Baby, that's me.
-
Its in the palm of my hands
and the need for my care
Phenomenal, phenomenal
Phenomenal woman
baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
that's me, that's me, yeah
