I am what I am and I am strong
Cause I got my land and I got my song
[N] I am what I am and I belong
Cause I got my land and I got my [F] song

[Bb] [F]
I'll tell you a story
About [Dm] a girl named [F] Kimberly
Who [Fm] all the [C] cowboys wanted
Cause [Dm] she was wild and [Bb] free
But [F] now there's fussing and there's fighting
[Dm] We all taking [Bb] sides
[F] While the [C] cowboys are playing their old game
[Dm] Of conquer and [Bb] divide
You [C] see Kimberly was special
[Dm] A rare [Bb] wild soul
[F] Nearly every man who met her
[Dm] Their heart she [F] always stole
But there are always those exceptions
[Dm] Of the cold and careless [Bb] kind
[F] That wanted [C] just her body
And [Dm] leave a mess for us [Bb] behind
[F]
[Dm] [F]
Now the prince of the cowboys
[Dm] His name was [Bb] Barnett
[Fm] He wanted to leave his mark, you know
[Dm] So we didn't all [Bb] forget
And so he [F] said, mine, mine, mine
All for me
[Bb]
[F] It's great to be a cowboy
[Dm] And the wild west roaming [Bb] free
And [F] so he brandished all his bullets
He [Dm] put a gun right to [Bb] our head
[F] Said I'm giving you all a choice now
You're [Dm] either with me or you're [Bb] dead
[F] You know I got to have this Kim
I [Dm] can't get her off [Bb] my mind
[F] And I ain't gonna stop until [Dm] she's mine
[Bb] Mine, all [G]
for me
Do I [Bb] stand?
Got [F] this hole in my [C] heart
And a line drawn in [G] the sun
[F] And it's [Bb] all gray
There ain't [F] no black [C] and white
So who am I to [Gm] say?
I said, yes [F] I am, I am
[Dm] And I am strong
[Bb] Cause I got my land
And I got my song
[C] Yes I am, [F] I am
[Dm] And I am strong
[Bb] Cause I got my land
And I got my [F] song
[Dm] [F]
[Dm] [F]
[Dm] [F]
[Dm] [F] [Bb]
Now [F] it's come to a showdown
[Dm] And it's all push and [Bb] pull
[F] You got those lawyers having a feeling
[Dm] While the cowboys are funding [Bb] schools
Yeah, [F] I guess it boils down to how you see it
[Dm] Do you see [Bb] Kimberly?
[F] It's just another goddamn hole in the ground
[Dm] Just another [F] opportunity
[G] Oh, do I [Bb] stand?
Got this [F] hole in my heart
And [C] a line drawn in the [G] sand
It's [Bb] all gray
There ain't [C] no black and white
So who am I to [G] say?
You [Bbm] were wrong
But [F] you never know what you [C] got
Until it's [G] gone
And [Bbm] one day
The [F] little people will ask [C] what you did
And what will [G] you say?
