If I Had A Girl Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]
[B]

[Verse 1]
I'm [B]a rock, [Em]I'm an island,
I need [B]no one to love me
At the end of the world,
there'll be no man above me
I work [C]the live long [Am]day,
[C]to [Am]do th[C]ings m[Am]y way[B][Em]
But if I [C]had a [Am]girl,
[C]I w[B]ould tell her this
[Em]

[Verse 2]
Oh yeah, "no" means "no",
but your skirt [B]comes into question
That you [Em]ask for it,
will be the whore's [B]suggestion
You'll work [C]the live long day,
to take [Em]home half the pay
So if I [C]had a girl, [B]I would tell her this
[Em]

[Verse 3]
[B]You gotta be bol[Em]der, better,
harder, faster
Don't [C]take no shit off no lord,
no master
Don't [Am]listen when they see
how far you've [B]come
'Cause you [Em]go to work then
you raise the babies
And you [C]work some more, now listen ladies
If [Am]you think we're done, we've [B]only just [Em]begun
[Am][B][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Em][B][Em][B][G][B][Em][B][Am][Em]
[B]

[Verse 4]
Well you [Em]go to school and th[B]ey tell
you that you're equal
[D#dim]But in the big wide [B]world tha[Em]t
just [B]means half the people
And [C]one thing you don't see,
there ain't no [Em]dicks on page three
So if you [C]have a girl,
[B]please remind her this
[Em]

[Verse 5]
You gotta be bolder, better,
harder, faster
Don't [C]take no shit off no lord,
no master
Don't [Am]listen when they see how far you've
[B]come (how far we've come)
'Cause you [Em]got to work and
you raise the babies
And you [C]work some more, now listen ladies
If [Am]you think we're done,
we've [B]only just be[Em]gun [B](only be[Em]gun n[Am]ow, uh)
If you think we're [C]done,
we've [B]only just be[Em]gun (we've only begun now, uh)
[B]An d if you [Am]think we're done,
we've [B]only just [Em]begun (only begun [B]now, [Em]uh)

[Verse 6]
Only got [Em]started
Yeah, we've only got [Am]started[Em]
Only got started
So far to go, now
So far to go, now
[B]

[Verse 7]
[C]And if I wear my skirt short,
don't [B]mean I don't have a brain
And if [C]cover myself from head to toe,
don't mean [B]that I'm in chains
[C]I don't have to hate men,
to [B]know that life ain't fair
And I [C]see how far we've got to go,
but I [B]know, I know, I know
That we'll get there
[Em]
