E            G#            C#m    E E7
Woman is the nigger of the world

         A  Am      E
Yes, she is, think about it

E            G#            C#m    E E7
Woman is the nigger of the world

A               Am                     | E    G A |
 Think about it, do something about it
[Verse 1]
F#m                                   D
 We make her paint her face and dance

A                                               E
 If she won't be a slave, we say that she don't love us

F#m                                         D
 If she's real, we say she's trying to be a man

G                                               B7
 While putting her down, we pretend that she's above us
[Chorus]
E            G#            C#m    E E7
Woman is the nigger of the world

A            Am                               E
 Yes, she is. If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with

E            G#           C#m     E E7
Woman is the slave of the slaves

A         Am              E
 Ah, yeah, better scream about it, hit it!
[Solo] | E G# | C#m E E7 | A Am | E | | E G# | C#m E E7 | A Am | E G A| [Verse 2]
F#m                                      D
 We make her bear and raise our children

A                                                      E
 And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen

F#m                                            D
 We tell her home is the only place she should be

G                                                    B7
 Then we complain that she's too unworldly to be our friend
[Chorus]
    E            G#            C#m    E E7
Oh, woman is the nigger of the world

A            Am                               E
 Yes, she is. If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with

E                G#           C#m    E E7
Oh, woman is the slave to the slaves

A     Am        E
 Yeah, alright ... hit it!
[Guitar Solo] | E G# | C#m E E7 | A Am | E | | E G# | C#m E E7 | A Am | E G A| [Verse 3]
F#m                            D
 We insult her every day on TV

A                                             E
 And wonder why she has no guts or confidence

F#m                                           D
 When she's young, we kill her will to be free

G                                                                   B7
 While telling her not to be so smart, we put her down for being so dumb
[Chorus]
         E            G#            C#m    E E/G#
Oh well, woman is the nigger of the world

A            Am                               E
 Yes, she is. If you don't believe me, take a look at the one you're with

E            G#           C#m    E E7
Woman is the slave to the slaves

         A            Am               E
Yes, she is. If you believe me, better scream about it
[Chorus]

(instrumental]

F#m                             D7
 We make her paint her face and dance

F#m                             D7
 We make her paint her face and dance

F#m                             D7
 We make her paint her face and dance
