I Will Survive chords and lyrics

Fun fact

The lyrics for ”I Will Survive” tell a story of overcoming heartbreak and emerging stronger, which has made it an enduring favorite for generations. Gloria Gaynor's powerful vocals deliver the song’s defiant and triumphant spirit, turning it into an anthem of independence and survival.

The song is in the key of A minor, and the first chord of the song is a E7(b9) chord. Although the E7 chord is a tension chord on its own, adding that flat 9 adds even more tension, leading to the A minor chord. It’s worth spending some time on how to add more tension to dominant chords, and the intro of this song is a great example on how they achieved that effect in a nice way. Have fun with ”I Will Survive”!
