Stand Acoustic Chords by Mike Peters

TUNING: Eb


Am               G          Am  
Come on down and meet your maker
G       Em                     
Come on down and make the Stand

Am
Oh, I have been out searching
           G               Am 
With this black book in my hand
Am                                                G 
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages
          Am
That I've tread
Am                                        G              Am
I met the walking dude, religious in his worn down cowboy boots
Am                               G
He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name
G
Swear he had no name
  
CHORUS:

Am               G         Am
Come on down and meet your maker
G       Em       Fmaj7    G 
Come on down and make the Stand
Am       G    Em      Fmaj7 
Come on down, come on down
        G     Fmaj7     G   Am
Come on down we'll make the Stand

As I crawled beneath the searchlights 
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met doctor Strangeloves cousin 
He bore the marks of time 
"Hey! Trashcan, where you going boy 
Your eyes are feet apart 
Is that the end you're carrying 
Shall I play the funeral march?"
Play the funeral march

REAPEAT CHORUS:

When I looked out the window on the hardship that had struck 
I saw the seven phials open the plague claimed man and son 
Four men at a grave in silence got their hats bowed down in grace 
A simple wooden cross had no epitaph engraved
No Epitaph engraved

REPEAT CHORUS:

Come roll out the red carpet come bugler sound the horn
For the hero is returning gotta welcome him to his home
Don't say I didn't warn you this prophesy is coming true
I can hear the cavalry thundering
Riding over the hill, riding over the hill
