I Am What I Am Chords by Gloria Gaynor

_ I am _ _ _ _ _ one special creation _ _
So come take a look
Give me [Bb] the hook or the ovation
[C] _
It's _ my [Dm] wo-
That [F] I want _ [C] a little pride in
My [Am] wo-
_ And it's [Bb] not a place I [Gm] have to [C] hide in
[F] Life's not worth a [A] damn
Till you can [Bb] say _ [Gm] I am
[C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Dm] _
I am what [Am] I am
_ Don't [Bb] want phrase, I don't [G] want city
[C] _ _
[F] I bang my [A] own drum
Some think [Bb] it's noise
I think [G] it's pretty
[C] _
[F] And so [Em] what?
_ [Dm] We sparkle and we [F] spangle
Why not [Gm] perceive things [C] from a different [F] angle?
Your life is [Am] a jam
Till you [Bb] can shout out
_ [G] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ [Dm] I _
[F] _ _ am what [Am] I am
And what [Bb] I am needs [Gm] no [C] excuses _
[F] I feel my [Am] own death
Sometimes [Bb] the aid
Sometimes [Gm] the deuce
[C] _
[F] It's one life
[Dm] There's no return and no [F] deposit
One life [Gm] so it's time to [C] open up your [F] closet
Life's not [Am] worth a damn
Till you [Bb] can shout out
_ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Db] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
[G] _ I am [Bm] what I am
And [C] what I _ _ [Am] am needs [C] no excuses _
[G] _ I feel [Bm] my own death _
[C] Sometimes the aid
Sometimes [Am] the deuce _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
[G] _ It's one life
[Am] There's no return and no deposit
One life so it's time to [D] open up your [Ab] closet
_ Life's not worth a [Cm] damn
Till you [Db] can shout out
_ [Bbm] _ _ [Eb] _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _
[Gb] _ _ [Db] _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] _ _ _ _
[Gb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ I am I am [Gb] I am
_ _ _ [Fm] _ I am I am [Gb] I am
_ _ _ [Ab] _ I am I am [Gb] _ _ _ _ [Fm] I [Db] am
I am as [Gb] good as you
_ [Ab] Uh huh _
[Ebm] _ _ [Gb] _ [Fm] Uh _ [Eb] _
huh
_ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _
[Gb] You can shout
[Fm] _ _ [Db] _ _
