Cover of the original song by Empire Cast
[Verse 1]
C Em
Life is like a big merry-go-round
Am
You're up and then down
F C
Going in circles tryin' to get to where you are
C Em
Everybody's been cutting you out
Am
where are they now?
F C
Sitting in the same old place just faces in the crowd
Em
We all make mistakes
Am
You might fall on your face
F
But you gotta get up!
[Chorus]
C
I'd rather stand tall
Em
Than live on my knees
Am
Cause I'm a conqueror
F
And I won't accept defeat
C
Try telling me no
Em
One thing about me
Am
Is I'm a conqueror
F
I am a conqueror
F
Ooh oh
[Verse 2]
C Em
Got a vision that no one else sees
Am
Lot of dirty work, roll up your sleeves
F C
Remember there's a war out there So come prepared to fight!
Em
You never know where the road just might lead ya
Am
Not everyone's gonna believe you - eh
F
Even though they're wrong don't prove them right
[Chorus]
C
I'd rather stand tall
Em
Than live on my knees
Am
Cause I'm a conqueror
F
And I won't accept defeat
C
Try telling me no
Em
One thing about me - hee - ee
Am
Is I'm a conqueror
F
Yes I am a conqueror
[Bridge]
(open strum & pick arp)
Em
We all make mistakes
Am
You might fall on your face
F Fm
Don't ever give up
[Chorus]
(strumming)
C
I'd rather stand tall
Em
Than live on my knees
Am
Cause I'm a conqueror
F
And I won't accept defeat
C
Try telling me no
Em
One thing about me
Am
Is I'm a conqueror
F
yes I am a conqueror
C
Ooh oh
