             Cm    A#/C
I've paid my dues,
           Cm    A#/C
time after time.
          Cm          A#/C
I've done my sentence
                 Cm     A#/C
But committed no crime.
           D#     G#/D#
And bad mistakes,
            D#   G#
I've made a few.
             D#
I've had my share
        A#/D          Cm
Of sand kicked in my face
    F7          A#
But I've come through.
And I need to go on,
                    C
And on, and on, and on.

Chorus:
      F          Am7
     We are the champions
         Dm7   A# C
     My friend.
          F             Am7
     And we'll keep on fighting
              A#  F#dim7
     Till the end.
     Gm         C/G
     We are the champions.
     A#m        Edim7 Gdim7
     We are the champions.
      F           Gm
     No time for losers,
             G#6        A#7
     'Cause we are the champions
   C7sus4   Fm
     Of the world.

I've taken my bows
And my curtain calls.
You've bought me fame
and fortune and everything
That goes with it, I thank you all.
But it's been no bed of roses,
No pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge
Before the whole human race
And I ain't gonna lose.
And I need to go on,
And on, and on, and on.

Chorus - x2
