[Verse 1]
[C]You[D] kn[Ebdim]ow,[E]
[Am]sisters,
There's been far too few songs written
About [Bbdim]us,
[Gdim]and our beauty.[Bbdim]
And women of [B]lesser understanding
[Bm]Might have become [E]bitter
Through the years of neglect.
[Am][D]
But our faith in our [G]men and ourselves,
Is being rewarded.
[F]

[Verse 2]
[E]
Now, I'm not say[Am]ing that
the struggle is over,
[D]Far, far from it,[F][E]
But there is a new [Am]day
And it promises [D]to be
a day [F]of truth.[E]
Truth about [Am]beauty[D]
And the world will see
[F]How [E]truly [Am]sensitve and beautiful,
[D]And wonderful,
We really are.
[F][E][G][Am]

Now some folks don't think it's [D]right,
[C#dim]
[Bbdim]'Cause our skin is b[C#dim]lack
as [Bm]night.[G][D]
But we know our [Em]hearts[A]
Is showing [D]up alright.[Am]
[D]To [G]the[Gm] good Lord up [G]abo[C]ve,[G]
