[Intro 1]
[Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][A][Em]
[Am][A][Am][Em][A][Am]
[C][D][A][Am]
[C][Am][Em][Asus4]
[A]Why did the

[Verse 1]
little girls [C]grow crooked
While the [D]little boys [A]grow tall
The boys were taught to [C]tumble
The [D]girls told not [A]to fall
The girls answered the [C]telephone
The [D]boys answered [A]the call
That's why little girls grew [Em]crooked
While the [G]little [D]boys grew [A]tall
[Am][Em]

[Verse 2]
[D]
Why [Em]did the [A]little girls grow [C]crippled
While the [D]little boys [A]grow strong
The boys allowed to [C]come of age
The [D]girls just came [A]along
[Em]The girl[A]s were told sing harmo[C]nies
The [D]boys could all sing [A]songs
That's why little girls grew [Em]crippled
[G]While little [D]boys [A]grew strong
[Am][C]

[Verse 3]
[G][D]
[A]Why did the little girls come bro[D]ken
[Em]While the litt[D]le boys came whole[A]
The little [Em]boys were set aflame
The [D]girls told to fan [A]the coals
The boys all [Em]told to be themselves
While the girls were told
play the roles
That's why [Am]little [Em]girls came broken
[G]While little [D]boys came [A]whole
[Am][Em][D][A][Am]

[Verse 4]
[C][Em]
[Am]Why were the little girls all frig[C]htened
To [D]be just what they [A]are
[Am]The boys were told to ask [C]themselves
[D]How high [A]how [Em]far
The [Am]girls were told to [C]reach the shelves
While the [D]boys were
reaching [Am]stars
That's why little girls were [Em]frightened
To [G]be just [D]what they [Am]are
[A][C][G][D][A][Am][C]

[Verse 5]
[D]
[A]And still they ble[C]d for us [G]all
[Em]As the moon ro[A]de t[Em]he sky
[C]They carried our [G]seed
When our [D]need ran high
They [C]fed all our chil[Em]dren
In [A]the night as they [Em]cried
[C]Womankind [G]wept
As [D]mankind [A]died

[Interlude 1]
[A][Em][G][D][A]
[Em][G][A][C][D]
[A][C][G][D]
[A]Why were the

[Verse 6]
little [Am]girls left [C]hurtin'
When [D]all the [G]boys were [A]done
And the girls left in the [Em]moonlight
[C]When the boy[G]s went to meet the[A] sun
And when the girls were [Em]open
[C]Why had the [D]little [G]all won[A]?
That's why little girls were [Em]hurtin'
When the little [D]boys were
[A]done
[Am][C][D][A][Am]

[Verse 7]
[D]
[A]Why did the little girls grow cro[Em]oked
While the little [G]boys grew tall
[A]It's maybe because the little boys
[C]Didn't ever [D]have [Bm]to gr[D]ow up at[A][D][A][Em][G]
[A][Am][G][Em][Asus4][Am]
[A][Asus4][Am][A]
[Asus4][A][Asus4][A][Asus4]
[A]all[Asus4][A]
