Gloria Gaynor - I am what I am
 
Vocal + Piano
F           Am         Bb             Gm7    C7
I am what I am I am my own special creation.
F               Am                Bb           Gm7     C7
So, come take a look, give me the hook or the ovation. 
     F  Dm7          F              C
It's my world that I want to have a little pride in;
F      Dm7             Bb            Gm7     C7
    my world, and it's not a place I have to hide in. 
F                  Am                Bb    Gm7 C7
Life's not worth a damn 'til you can say I am  what I

F           Am              Bb                  Gm7    C7
I am what I am I don't want praise I don't want pity 
F             Am                   Bb                 Gm7     C7
I bang my own drum some think it's noise I think it's pretty 
    F    C/E     Dm
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle 
F/C                  Gm7             C
      Why not try to see things from a different angle 
F                Am                 Bb          Gm7 C7
  Your life is a sham till you can shout out I am  what I

F             Am                 Bb                Gm7   C7
I deal my own deck sometimes the ace sometimes the deuces 
     F     C/E            Dm
It's one life and there's no return and no deposit 
F/C                   Gm7          C
     One life so it's time to open up your closet 
F                    Am                 Bb         Gm7 C7

I love this tab! Just one correction: the word "shame" should be "sham". "Your life is a sham till you can shout out I am what I am" :)
