[Verse 1]
[F]My [G]mama told me,
[C]Ever since I was seven,
Hold your [G]head up high.
My parents told my
Ever [C]since I was eleven,
"Hold your [G]head up high."
[C]They said the answer
Was [F]to become a dancer,
Hold your [G]head high.
[C]Oh, just like I figured,
They're [F]always disfigured
With their [G]heads up high.

[Verse 2]

With my [G]head up high
Oh, as I figured,

Since your [G]head's up high, baby.
Oh, [C]just like I figured,
You [F]know, they was disfigured
[G]Hold your head up high.

Hold your [G]head high, boy.
