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
