_ _ _ _ you have heard of women's rights and how we've tried to [A] reach new heights.
[C#] If we're all created [E] equal, [B] _
_ that's [F#] us too. _ _ _
Yeah, _ but you will probably never recall that it's not been too long at all [C#] since we even
[E] had the right [B] to _ cast [F#] our _ votes. _
_ Well, _ sure some men bowed down and called us missives.
Let us hang the watch out and wash the dishes.
[C#] But when the [B] time rolled around [F#m] to elect a [F#] president,
What did they say, sister?
What did they say?
They said, uh, see you later, _ alligator.
And don't forget my mashed potatoes, [C#] cause I'm going downtown [E] [B] to cast my vote for [F#] president. _ _ _ _
_ But [A#] we were suffering [D#m] until suffering.
[A#] Not a one _ _ [D#m] _
_ _ _ [Fm] _ -ninety amendment [C#]
[B] struck down [C#m] that [C#] restrictive [F#m] rule.
_ Now _ _ _ _ we pull [F#] down on the river.
Cast our ballot _ _ ever [C#] to improve our [B] country.
State, county, town, [F#m] and school.
[F#] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ Those pilgrim women who, who brave the foe.
They cook, cook, cook, could cook the turkey, but they, they could not vote.
[Am] Even Betsy Ross, who sold the [G] flag, was left behind that first election day.
What a shame, sister!
_ Then Susan B.
Anthony, _ and Julia Howe, _ Lucretia Mott, and others.
They showed us how, [D] they carried [F] signs and marched [C] in lines until it long last [G] law was _ _ passed.
_ [B] But we were suffering [Em] until suffering.
_ [B] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] Then the 19th amendment [D]
[E] struck [Dm] down that [D] restrictive [Gm] rule. _ _
Ever, _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ endeavor _ _ _ _ [D] to improve our [C] country.
State, county, town, [G] and school. _ _ _
_ Yes, [D] the 19th [F] amendment [C]
struck down that restrictive [G] rule. _ _ _
_ _ Yes, [Am] the 19th amendment [C]
struck down [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ that restrictive _ rule.
[C] Since _ _ _ _ 1920, _ sisters unite.
