In honor of my Chicago Blackhawks winning their third Stanley Cup in six years last night, I had to learn
this one. This is an adaptation for the acoustic guitar...it is not a transcription of how the song is
performed on the recording, but the chords are correct. As an added bonus, this version should be pretty
easy to fit onto one page for printing!
Queen - We Are The Champions
Capo 3 (Original Key: )
I've paid my dues, time after time.
I've done my sentence, but committed no crime.
And bad mi-stakes, I've made a few.
I've had my share of sand kicked in my face, but I've come through.
And we mean to go on, and on, and on, and on.
We are the champions, my friends
[badasses: add a glissando here]
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end
We are the champions, we are the cham-pions.
No time for losers, 'cos we are the champions
Of the world
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 whole human race and I ain't gonna lose.
And we mean to go on, and on, and on, and on!
