You (Bb)held me down, but I got up, hey.
Al read y brush ing (Cm)off the dust.
You (Gm)hear my voice, you hear that sound like thun der gon na (Eb)shake the ground.
You (Bb)held me down, but I got up, hey.
Get read y ’cause I’ve (Cm)had e nough.
I (Gm)see it all, I see it now.
I got the (Eb)eye of the ti ger, a fight er, danc ing through the fire.
’Cause I am a cham pion and you’re gon na hear me roar.
Loud er, loud er than a li on ’cause I am a cham pion and you’re gon na hear me roar,
