D7 x4
[Chorus]
G C G C G It used to be a man's world, but we didn't treat it right G C G Am D7 It used to be a man's world, but all we did was fight C G D/F# C I'm glad it's finally in the hands of the women and the girls Am D C D G F G I can't wait to see what they do with what's left of the world
[Verse 1]
Bm Em C G Ladies, I'm sorry, but we couldn’t seem to learn C G Bm How to live in peace, so Rome had to burn C G Bm Em And we cared about clean air, but there was money to be made C G Bm And breathing's nice, but it don't compare with getting paid C D7 Hmmmmmmm
[Chorus]
G C G C G It used to be a man's world, but we didn't treat it right G C G Am D7 It used to be a man's world, but all we did was fight C G D/F# C I'm glad it's finally in the hands of the women and the girls Am D C D G F G I can't wait to see what they do with what's left of the world
[Verse 2]
Bm Em C G Please, I beg your pardon, but we got a bit confused C G Bm Some of our brothers thought our sisters were born for getting used C G Bm Em Then we made the assumption that's how it should be done C G Bm Then tried to excuse ourselves in the name of fun C G Don't get me wrong, hope ain't fully gone C D7 G Scores of decent men built the road I'm standing on F Em But a lot of it has crumbled through prideful mistakes F D And ashes cover much of what the flooding didn't take
[Interlude]
C D G x4
[Verse 3]
Bm Em C G I know that we are giving you a lot to straighten out C G Bm The silver lining broke away from the thunder cloud C G Bm Em And it took us a few thousand years to make a mess so fine Am D7 I bet y'all sort it out in less than half the time
[Chorus]
G C G C G It used to be a man's world, excess in the extreme G C G Am D7 Oh, it used to be a man's world, but we ran out of steam C G D/F# C We couldn't seem to reach the grace that's born in every girl Am D7 C D7 G Still, I hope that I can lend a hand in this new woman's world Am D7 C D7 G Let me know if I can help out in this new woman's world
F G x4
