[Verse 1]

             Am   G           Am   G
I've paid my dues, time after time.
             Am       G                 Am    G
I've done my sentence, but committed no crime.
           C      Fadd9        C   Fadd9
And bad mi-stakes, I've made a few.
            C             G/B          Am7/E     D         G
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through.
                  F/G     Gm9     G9      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   Adim  B7b9
And we'll keep on fighting 'till the end.

Em7         A7/E       Gm6        A13  C#dim
 We are the champions, we are the cham-pions.
D            Em9          F6         G7        Am11
 No time for losers, 'cos we are the champions,
       Dm    Em7, Dm  Em7, Dm  Em7
Of the World.


[Verse 2]

              Am   G               Am    G
I've taken my bows, 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     Fadd9        C      Fadd9
But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise.
                C                    G/B         Am7/E    D             G
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race and I ain't gonna lose.
                  F/G     Gm9     G9      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   Adim  B7b9
And we'll keep on fighting 'till the end.

Em7         A7/E       Gm6        A13  C#dim
 We are the champions, we are the cham-pions.
D            Em9          F6         G7        Am11
 No time for losers, 'cos we are the champions, of the...


[Chorus 3]

D           F#m7          Bm7     G  A
 We are the champions, my friends.
    D             F#m7               G   Adim  B7b9
And we'll keep on fighting 'till the end.

Em7         A7/E       Gm6        A13  C#dim
 We are the champions, we are the cham-pions.
D            Em9          F6         G7        Am11
 No time for losers, 'cos we are the champions.
