Hard To Make A Stand

[Intro]
B  E  2x


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


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]
         B                      E
And it's hard to make a stand
           B                       E
Yeah, it's hard to make a stand
          B                       E
Ohh, it's hard to make a stand


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


[Pre-Chorus]

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


[Chorus]
         B                       E
And it's hard to make a stand
         B                       E
And it's hard to make a stand
         B                       E
Oh, it's hard to make a stand
             B                       E
Oh, it's hard to make a stand

Yes it is


[Bridge]
G#m  E   C#m   F#


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


[Pre-Chorus]

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

I say,
 B   F#      E    B
"Hey there, miscreation
E      B      F#
We all need a celebration"


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


[Outro]
B  E  4x
