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]
Fm  C#   A#m   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
