Born A Woman

Written by Martha Sharp

G            D7                              G
I was born a woman I'm glad it happened that way
            D7
It makes no difference if you're rich or poor 
   C                  G
Or if you're smart or dumb
  C                     G            A7               D7
A woman's place in this old world is under some man's thumb

G                    D7                      G
And if you're born a woman you're born to be hurt
                  C
You're born to be stepped on lied to 
                            G
Cheated on and treated like dirt
                 D7                      G
If you're born a woman you're born to be hurt

          D7                      C         G
A woman's lot is to give and give and go on giving
  C              G             A7        D7
A woman's got to love and lose and go on living
     G            D7                     G
Well I was born a woman I didn't have no say
                        C
And when my man finally comes home 
                                  G
He makes me glad it happened that way

                  D7                             G
Because to be his woman no price is too great to pay
                 D7                              G
Yes I was born a woman I'm glad it happened that way
                 D7                              G
Yes I was born a woman I'm glad it happened that way
