Chords

[Verse 1]
                         A
I guess I have to be a lady

             E
Smiling and waving

            F#m
Constantly obeying

                 Bm7
I guess I need a prince
To come and save me
           E7         E
Even if I don't need saving

                A
I guess I must sit on a throne I don't own

             F#m
Raising the babies we made all alone

              Bm7                                     F    E
I guess as a lady there's just some things I'll never know...
[Chorus 1]
                A
But if I were a man
I'd go to Japan
                  F#m
Maybe swim in the Seine
And learn to speak French
             Bm
I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand

    E
And finally, do, what I could, 'cause I can

            A
If I were a man!
[Dialogue, Scene] (Main piano riff plays, can work with just repeating the verse chords) Penеlope Feathington: "Eloise! I must tеll you something." Eloise Bridgerton: "Tell me." Penelope Feathington: "I've come to learn of a woman who is with child” Eloise Bridgerton: "With child... Is it a lady or maid?” Penelope Feathington: “Maid.” Eloise Bridgerton: "I didn't know one of your maids was married?" Penelope Feathington: "She's not." Eloise Bridgerton: "How can she be with child and not married?" Penelope Feathington: “Well I don’t know how” Eloise Bridgerton: “Well, you have to find out so it doesn’t happen to us!” [Verse 2]
                        A
I guess I have to go to banquets

                      E
Banquets make me anxious

F#m
Acting rather shameless

                 Bm7
I guess I need a gown
Down past my ankles
            E
Doing up my hair in tangles
N.C I guess I have to...
      A
"Sit still and look pretty!

               F#m
Dance 'til I'm proper dizzy!"

               Bm7
Throw away the life

               E           A
That I've been missing
[Chorus 2]
                A
But if I were a man
I'd summer in Cannes!
                  F#m
Maybe play in the sand
And wear my own pants!
              Bm
I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand

             F                          E
I'd probably fly far away from the nest

            A
If I were a man!
[Bridge]
C
No more ladies and lords
Just a world to explore
    B
And I don’t care if it’s all blood and gore!

      Am
No extravagant balls! Or gentlemen calls!

      C                             B 
And I don't give a rat if he's handsome and tall

   Am                                G 
I don't want to settle and squark

             B                   B
I'll never leave the nest for a delicate walk

    B7
Oh!

N.C   Cm6
What if I, what if I want...

Bm7
To fly!
[Chorus 3]
                   A
'Cause if I were a man
I'd go to Bhutan
                  F#m
Maybe play in the sand
And learn to speak French
Bm7
I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand

            E
And finally do, what I could, but I can't

             A
If I were a man

            F#
If I were a man!

              Bm7
I'd have the whole world in the palm of my hand

            F                          E
And finally do, what I could, but I can't

            A
If I were a man
