I Will Survive is a very wordy song – but it uses the most beautiful chords and chord progression that runs through the whole song – so I suggest you download the music below – and just focus on the chords (and not look at the words initially). Once you have the chord progression down pat (Am, Dm, G7, Cmaj7, Fmaj7, Dm, E7sus4, E7) – you can then give the singing a go. I’ve also thrown in a strum variation for when you nail the chords. By the way, “badabadabadaba” translates to up-down-up-down-up-down-up! There’s a great tutorial for this classic song in the ‘Moving On Up’ online course.
