             Cm C11
I've paid my dues,
time after time,
I've done my sentence,
but committed no crime.

           Eb(sus4)/piano:Ab
And bad mistakes,
I've made a few,

Eb          Bb/D                       C7
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face
          F    Bb
but I've come through.

backing vocals:  E-1-----1------1------3---
                 B-1-----2------3------5---
                 G-1-----1------1------5---
(And I need to go on and on and on and on.)

F            Am          Dm      Bb C7
We are the champions my friends,

F                  Am               Bb/Bb-A-G F#dim D/F# (2x121x xx023x)
and we'll keep on fighting till the end.

 Gm(7)          C/G   Bb (backing vocals: xx532x)
We are the champions  We are the champions,

F           311311         Ab           Bb(add9)        C11
no time for losers, 'cause we are the champions of the world

I've taken my bows,
and my curtain calls,
you brought me fame and fortune and evrything
that goes with it, I thank you all.

But it's been no bed of roses,
no plea-sure   cruise,
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
and I ain't gonna lose.
