I Am What I Am Tab par Gloria Gaynor

C           Em         F             Dm7    G7
I am what I am I am my own special creation.
C               Em                F           Dm7     G7 
So, come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation. 
     C  Am7          C              G                            
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in;
C      Am7             F            Dm7     G7                          
    my world, and it's not a place I have to hide in. 
C                  Em                F    Dm7 G7
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say I am  what I

I bang my own drum some think it's noise I think it's pretty 
    C    G/B     Am

      Why not try to see things from a different angle 
C                Em                 F          Dm7 G7
  Your life is a shame till you can shout out I am  what I
