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    E  D      A
"Call me miscreation,
D     A        D   E
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     E     D     A
"Hey, there, miscreation,
D       A       D        E
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]
F#m  D   Bm   E


[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    E     D    A
"Hey there, miscreation
D       A       D       E
Bring a flower, time is wasting"

I say,
 A   E      D    A
"Hey there, miscreation
D      A      E
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
