India Arie - Video
This song is from Indias album Acoustic soul, 
Its got really beutiful (but long) lyrics and works fine for any
independent woman out there who has outgrown Destinys Child ;-)

Chords:
 Em: x79987
 Bm: 799777
 Am7:575555
(Am: 577555) If you dont like the sound of the Am7, 
             you can play it straight instead.

Okay the thing with the chord pattern of this song 
is that first you play the bassnote and then do the stroking, 
Like this:

Em:  Bassnote followed by a fast downstroke
Bm:  Bassnote followed by a fast downstroke
Am7: Bassnote followed by fast down- then upstroke
Am7: Bassnote followed by a fast downstroke
Bm:  Bassnote followed by a fast downstroke
Em:  Bassnote followed by fast down- then upstroke

Listen to the song to get a hang of it, dont try to play the 
chords with the words, try to sing the words in rythmic pattern 
so that the chords get along with the words.

Lyrics:
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wed blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel 
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie 

When I look in the mirror the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know our creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes I'm lovin' what I see

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel 
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie 

Am I less of a lady If I don't wear panty hoes?
My mama said ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all and illusion confusions the 
name of the game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
Don't be offended this is all my opinion 
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent 
here to share wit ya'll
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Free your mind, nows the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go head and love yourself
Cuz everything's gonna be all right

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel 
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your Caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your krystyle and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of Crystal
Don't need your silly comb I can find my own
What God gave me is just fine

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel 
But, I Learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be India Arie
