Verse 1:
A5         E5
Old James Dean Monroe
D5                        A5      E5 
Hands out flowers at the shop-n-go
A5                   E5              D5    A5   E5     
Hopes for money but all he gets is fear
        A5          E5   
And the wind blows up his coat
    D5                      A5       E5
And this he scribbles on a perfume note
    A5       E5                     D5    A5    E5
"If I'm not here, then you're not here"

And he says,
 A5    E5  D5      A5
"Call me miscreation,
D5     A5        D5   E5
I'm a walking celebration"

Chorus:
         A5                   E5   D5   A5   E5
And it's hard to make a stand          
           A5                   E5   D5   A5   E5
Yeah, it's hard to make a stand
             A5                   E5   D5   A5   E5
I think it's hard to make a stand
         A5                   E5   D5   A5   E5
Oh, it's hard to make a stand

Verse 2:
A5         E5
My friend, o lawdy
D5                    A5       E5
Went to take care of her own body
A5            E5               D5   A5   E5
But she got shot down in the road
A5                E5
She looked up before she went
       D5                 A5      E5
Said, "this isn't really what I meant"
        A5          E5                     D5  A5  E5
And the daily news said, "two with one stone"

And I say,
 A5     E5     D5     A5 
"Hey, there, miscreation,
D5       A5       D5        E5
Bring a flower, time is wasting"

Chorus:
         A5                   E5   D5   A5   E5
And it's hard to make a stand
         A5                   E5   D5   A5   E5
Oh, it's hard to make a stand
         A5                   E5   D5   A5   E5
Oh, it's hard to make a stand
             A5                   E5   D5   A5   E5
I think it's hard to make a stand

Yes it is    

Bridge:
   F#5  D5   B5   E5
Verse 3:
       A5                 E5
We got loud guitars and quite suspicions
D5                   A5      E5
Big, big guns and small ambitions
A5            E5                 D5   A5   E5
And we still argue over who is God

And I say,      
 A5    E5     D5    E5
"Hey there, miscreation
D5      A5      D5   E5
We all need a revelation"

I say, 
 A5   E5      D5    E5
"Hey there, miscreation
D5      A5      E5
We all need a celebration"
