I've paid my [Cmi]dues,[Gm7/C]
time after [Cmi]time,[Gm7/C]
I've done my [Cmi]sentence,[Gm7/C]
but comitted no [Cmi]crime[Gm7/C]
And bad mi[Eb]stakes,[Ab/Eb]
I've made a [Eb]few,[Ab/Eb]

I've had my [Eb]hare of [Bb/D]sand kicked in my [Cmi]face, 
but [F7][Bb]I've come [Bb7]through[C]
And I mean to go [Ab/Eb]on, and [Bbm7b5]on, and [Bb7]on, and [C7]on

[F]We are the [Ami]champions, my [Dmi]friend[Bb][C7]
And [F]we'll keep on [Ami]fighting 'till the [Bb]end[F#dim7]
[Gmi7]We are the [C7/G]champions, 
[Bbmi6]we are [Bbm6/Db]the [Edim7]cham[Gdim7]pions!
[F]No time for [Ebadd9/G]losers
'cause [Ab6]we are [Cmi]the [Bb]champions[Cm7add4] of the [Fmi]world
[Gmi7] [Fmi] [Gm7/F] [Fmi] [Gm7/C] 

I've taken my bows and my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it

I thank you all
But it's been no bed of roses, no pleasure cruise.
I consider it a challenge before the human race -
and I never lose

We are the champions...
