I Will Survive: Chords

MI7

   LAm7                      REm7
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
              SOL7
Kept thinking I could never live
            DO7+
without you by my side.
           FA7+
But then I spent so many nights
         SIm7/5-
thinking how you did me wrong
           MI4
And I grew strong
              MI
and I learned how to get along.

               LAm7             REm7
But now you're back, from outer space
              SOL7
I just walked in, to find you here
              DO7+
with that sad look upon your face.
              FA7+
I should have changed that stupid lock,
              SIm7/5-
I should have made you leave your key
         MI4
If I had known for just one second
         MI
you'd be back to bother me.

           LAm7             REm7
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
            SOL7
Just turn a-round now
                DO7+
'cos you're not welcome any more.
FA7+
 Weren't you the one
             SIm7/5-
who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
                  MI4
Did you think I'd crumble
                  MI
did you think I'd lay down and die?

           LAm7          REm7
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
       SOL7
Oh, as long as I know how to love
  DO7+
I know I'll stay alive.
         FA7+
I've got all my life to live
             SIm7/5-
and I've got all my love to give
             MI4              MI
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive
           LAm 
I will sur-vive...

LAm7  REm7  SOL7  DO7+

FA7+  SIm7/5-  MI4  MI

         LAm7
It took all the strength I had
             REm7
not to fall apart.
            SOL7
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces
      DO7+
of my broken heart.
            FA7+
And I spent oh, so many nights
             SIm7/5-
just feeling sorry for myself
          MI4
I used to cry
        MI7
but now I hold my head up high.

            LAm7         REm7
And you see me; somebody new,
             SOL7
I'm not that chained up little person
         DO7+
still in love with you.
           FA7+
And so you felt like dropping in
           SIm7/5-
and just expect me to be free
              MI4
Well, now I'm saving all my loving.
        MI
for someone who's loving me.

           LAm7             REm7
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
            SOL7
Just turn a-round now
                DO7+
'cos you're not welcome any more.
FA7+
 Weren't you the one
             SIm7/5-
who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
                  MI4
Did you think I'd crumble
                  MI
did you think I'd lay down and die?

           LAm7          REm7
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
       SOL7
Oh, as long as I know how to love
  DO7+
I know I'll stay alive.
         FA7+
I've got all my life to live
             SIm7/5-
and I've got all my love to give
             MI4              MI
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive
           LAm 
I will sur-vive...

I Will Survive è una canzone del 1978, cantata da Gloria Gaynor ed incisa nel suo album Love Tracks. E' stata spesso interpretata come un inno alla presa di potere femminile o anche alla sensibilizzazione per la lotta all'AIDS. Non solo, è considerata uno dei pezzi più gettonati in assoluto in ambito karaoke. Ai tempi della sua uscita, il singolo riuscì a piazzarsi al primo posto delle classifiche americane ed inglesi, ricevendo anche un Grammy nel 1980 per la miglior incisione su disco (l'unico anno in cui tale premio fu assegnato).
