Hard To Make A Stand

[Intro]
A#  D#  2x


[Verse]
A#
Old James Dean Monroe
D#
Hands out flowers at the shop-n-go
A#                                  D#
Hopes for money but all he gets is fear
        A#
And the wind blows up his coat
    D#
And this he scribbles on a perfume note
    A#                             D#
"If I'm not here, then you're not here"


[Pre-Chorus]

And he says,
 A#    F  D#      A#
"Call me miscreation,
D#     A#        D#   F
I'm a walking celebration"


[Chorus]
         A#                      D#
And it's hard to make a stand
           A#                       D#
Yeah, it's hard to make a stand
          A#                       D#
Ohh, it's hard to make a stand


[Verse]
A#
My friend, o Lawdy
D#
Went to take care of her own body
A#                            D#
But she got shot down in the road
A#
She looked up before she went
       D#
Said, "this isn't really what I meant"
        A#                                D#
And the daily news said, "two with one stone"


[Pre-Chorus]

And I say,
 A#     F     D#     A#
"Hey, there, miscreation,
D#       A#       D#        F
Bring a flower, time is wasting"


[Chorus]
         A#                       D#
And it's hard to make a stand
         A#                       D#
And it's hard to make a stand
         A#                       D#
Oh, it's hard to make a stand
             A#                       D#
Oh, it's hard to make a stand

Yes it is


[Bridge]
Gm  D#   Cm   F


[Verse]
       A#
We got loud guitars and quite suspicions
D#
Big, big guns and small ambitions
A#                              D#
And we still argue over who is God


[Pre-Chorus]

And I say,
 A#    F     D#    A#
"Hey there, miscreation
D#       A#       D#       F
Bring a flower, time is wasting"

I say,
 A#   F      D#    A#
"Hey there, miscreation
D#      A#      F
We all need a celebration"


[Chorus]
     A#                       D#
It's hard to make a stand
         A#                       D#
And it's hard to make a stand
         A#                       D#
Oh, it's hard to make a stand
           A#                       D#
Yeah, it's hard to make a stand
             A#                       D#
I think it's hard to make a stand


[Outro]
A#  D#  4x
