(Original Key: Cm)


Verse 1:

             Am    G
I've paid my dues,
           Am    G
Time after time.
             Am        G 
I've done my sentence,
                 Am     G
But committed no crime.

           C       F
And bad mi-stakes,
            C    F
I've made a few.
            C             G/B          Am7
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face,
    D7        G
But I've come through.

G                                       A7
 And we mean to go on and on and on and on.

Chorus 1:

D           F#m7          Bm7      G  A
 We are the champions, my friends.
    D             F#m7               G    Ebdim
And we'll keep on fighting 'till the end.

Em          A          Gdim       C#dim
 We are the champions, we are the champions.
D            Em9          F6         G7        A7sus4
 No time for losers, 'cos we are the champions,
       Dm     G, Dm  A7sus4
Of the World.

Verse 2:

              Am    G
I've taken my bows,
               Am    G
And my curtain calls.
               Am                                   G
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it;
            Am   G
I thank you all.

                        C      F
But it's been no bed of roses,
            C
No pleasure cruise.
      C          G/B                              Am7
I con-sider it a challenge before the whole human race,
      D7          G
And I ain't gonna lose.

G                                       A7
 And we mean to go on and on and on and on.

Chorus 2:

D           F#m7          Bm7      G  A
 We are the champions, my friends.
    D             F#m7               G    Ebdim
And we'll keep on fighting 'till the end.

Em          A          Gdim       C#dim
 We are the champions, we are the champions.
D            Em9          F6         G7         A7sus4
 No time for losers, 'cos we are the champions, of the...
