verse 1 
G                  C         G 
momma you teach me how to be brave 
G                        C       G 
in a world that wants to smile & wave 
G                  C         G 
momma you teach me how to be strong 
G                            C         G 
in this backwards world, you sing your song 
Am7   Am7/D     G 
can't speak for you 
Am7  Am7/D  G         G G/F# 
what you go through 
Em         Em7  Am7 
you've got your voice 
           C/G  G 
so push on through 

verse 2 
G                   C    G 
maybe you're not my baby girl 
G                         C       G 
you can make your own way in this world 
G                    C        G 
you could fight with fists, enraged 
G                  C       G 
or maybe you could set the stage 
Am7 Am7/D     G 
you hold your own 
Am7 Am7/D   G      G G/F# 
you set the tone 
Em        Em7 Am7 
you've got a voice 
           C/G  G   G G/F# 
to let them know 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
Em                     Am7 
and when they tell you where you belong 
Em                          Am7 
stand up and say "i'm woman and i am strong!" 
Em                     Am7 
and when they tell you where you belong 
Em        Am7               G 
stand up! stand up! oh-whoa-whoa
