(Verse 1)
[G] She walks with a purpose, [D] a gait so strong,
[Am] Lighting up the darkness, [C] singing her song.
[G] Battle scars and bruises, [D] they tell her tale,
[Em] But she’s an unyielding light, [C] she will not fail.
(Chorus)
[G] She’s a Proud Woman, [D] standing tall,
[Am] She’s been through the storm, [C] seen it all.
[G] She’s a beacon in the night, [D] burning so bright,
[Em] She’s an unyielding light, [C] a splendid sight.
(Verse 2)
[G] Her strength is her melody, [D] her courage her tune,
[Am] She’s the moon that shines, [C] even at noon.
[G] With grit in her voice, [D] and fire in her soul,
[Em] She’s a Proud Woman, [C] who has taken control.
(Chorus)
[G] She’s a Proud Woman, [D] standing high,
[Am] Her spirit unbroken, [C] touching the sky.
[G] She’s a beacon in the night, [D] burning so bright,
[Em] She’s an unyielding light, [C] a splendid sight.
(Bridge)
[G] Proud Woman stand, [D] let your light shine,
[Am] In the face of adversity, [C] you always shine.
[G] Proud Woman rise, [D] rise so high,
[Em] Your spirit can’t be broken, [C] no matter how they try.
(Chorus)
[G] She’s a Proud Woman, [D] undeniably fierce,
[Am] Her soul on fire, [C] her heart she pierces.
[G] She’s a beacon in the night, [D] burning so bright,
