Hard To Make A Stand

[Intro]
G  C  2x


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


[Pre-Chorus]

And he says,
 G    D  C      G
"Call me miscreation,
C     G        C   D
I'm a walking celebration"


[Chorus]
         G                      C
And it's hard to make a stand
           G                       C
Yeah, it's hard to make a stand
          G                       C
Ohh, it's hard to make a stand


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


[Pre-Chorus]

And I say,
 G     D     C     G
"Hey, there, miscreation,
C       G       C        D
Bring a flower, time is wasting"


[Chorus]
         G                       C
And it's hard to make a stand
         G                       C
And it's hard to make a stand
         G                       C
Oh, it's hard to make a stand
             G                       C
Oh, it's hard to make a stand

Yes it is


[Bridge]
Em  C   Am   D


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


[Pre-Chorus]

And I say,
 G    D     C    G
"Hey there, miscreation
C       G       C       D
Bring a flower, time is wasting"

I say,
 G   D      C    G
"Hey there, miscreation
C      G      D
We all need a celebration"


[Chorus]
     G                       C
It's hard to make a stand
         G                       C
And it's hard to make a stand
         G                       C
Oh, it's hard to make a stand
           G                       C
Yeah, it's hard to make a stand
             G                       C
I think it's hard to make a stand


[Outro]
G  C  4x
