Capo on 1st fret for the original. 

        D                D 
I will bend and I will sway 
         D                  D 
I will fight to stand up straight 
                A 
When troubled winds blow my way, 
          D 
I won't break. 

        D                D 
I will hope and I will love. 
        D                  D 
I will give 'til there's enough. 
            A                 A 
That's the life I'm dreaming of, 
             D 
I won't give up. 

          D              D 
I will stumble, I will crawl. 
         D                   D 
Bang my head against these walls. 
         A                  A 
In the end I won't have it all, 
                 D 
But I'll stand tall. 

        D              D 
I will sing, I will shout. 
             D                D 
Let these words fly from my mouth. 
        A                     A 
I will live what this life's about, 
           D 
With or without. 
         A                     A 
I will live what this life's about, 
          D 
With or without.
