   C        G                    G       C 
It makes no difference if you’re rich or poor 

   F              G        C 
or even if you're smart or dumb 

  F                C 
A woman’s place in this whole world 

   D                G 
is under some man’s thumb 

   C       G            G       C 
It must be heavy and it must be hard 

          F             G       C 
trying to make a little dent in life 

  F                C 
A breeding feeling by your feet 

      D                  G 
while loathsome wrestles light 

G                       G                        C 
‘Cause if you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt 

                    F                                                C 
You were born to be lied to, stepped on, cheated on and treated like dirt 

Dm                      G                 C 
If you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt 

  C       G           G        C 
A woman’s place is to give and give 

    F       G         C 
and then to give some more 

    F               C 
And it’s so hard to understand 

D                 G 
what she’s giving for 

    C        G          G       C 
The break of day to the dead of night 

   F         G        C 
at someone’s beck and call 

  F                C 
A woman’s place in this whole world 

D                 G 
ain’t no place at all 

G                       G                        C 
‘Cause if you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt 

Solo 

G                       G                        C 
‘Cause if you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt 

                    F                                                C 
You were born to be lied to, stepped on, cheated on and treated like dirt 

Dm                      G                 C 
If you’re born a woman, you’re born to be hurt 

Born to be hurt 

Born to be hurt 

Born to be hurt
