Katy Perry - Roar

hi there! i’m really liking this new song : )

really easy; )

the * ’d chords are one strum . the Am * is a quick
one strum right into the Em . play along with the
song to get the timing down : )

standard tuning w/
capo on 3

intro –
G Em

G
i used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Am * Em
scared to rock the boat and make a mess
C G
so i sat quietly , agreed politely
i guess that i forgot i had a choice
Am * Em
i let you push me past the breaking point
C
i stood for nothing , so i fell for everything

G
you held me down , but i got up
already brushing off the dust
Em
you hear my voice , you hear that sound
C
like thunder , gonna shake the ground
G
you held me down , but i got up
Am * Em
get ready cause i’ve had enough
C
i see it all , i see it now

G
i got the eye of the tiger , the fire ,
dancing through the fire
Em C G
cause i Am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
louder , louder than a lion
Em C G
cause i Am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
Em
oh oh oh . . . , oh oh oh . . . , oh oh oh . . .
C G . . . stop
you’re gonna hear me roar

G
now i’m floatin’ like a butterfly
Am * Em
stingin’ like a bee i earned my stripes
C
i went from zero , to my own hero

G
you held me down , but i got up
already brushing off the dust
Em
you hear my voice , you hear that sound
C
like thunder , gonna shake the ground
G
you held me down , but i got up
Am * Em
get ready cause i’ve had enough
C
i see it all , i see it now

G
i got the eye of the tiger , the fire ,
dancing through the fire
Em C G
cause i Am a champion and you’re gonna hear me roar
