I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor Ukulele Chords

——————–……………..

Released 1978

Intro:

Verse 1:

At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.

But now you’re back, from outer space,
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should’ve made you leave your key,
If I had known for just one second, you’d be back to bother me.

Chorus 1:

Go on now, go; walk out the door;
Just turn a-round now, ‘cos you’re not welcome anymore.
Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble; did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive.
I’ve got all my life to live, and I’ve got all my love to give,
And I’ll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur[(Am)]-vive…

Interlude:

Am Dm G Cmaj7, Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E

Verse 2:

Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart,
Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
And you see me; somebody new,
I’m not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,
Well, now I’m saving all my loving, for some-one who’s loving me.

Chorus 2:

Go on now, go; walk out the door;
Just turn a-round now, ‘cos you’re not welcome anymore.
Weren’t you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble; did you think I’d lay down and die?
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
And as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive.
I’ve got all my life to live, and I’ve got all my love to give,
And I will survive, I-I-I will sur[(Am)]-vive.

Break:

Am, Dm

Chorus 3:

Go on now, go; walk out the door;
Just turn a-round now, ‘cos you’re not welcome anymore.
Weren’t you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Did you think I’d crumble; did you think I’d lay down and die?
No no, not I; I will sur-vive,
And as long as I know how to love, I know I’ll stay alive.
I’ve got all my life to live, and I’ve got all my love to give,
And I’ll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur[(Am)]-vive…
