"STAND TALL"
by Burton Cummings


Transcribed by Steve Garner (s_garner@hotmail.com)


Intro: G

Verse 1:

G	        Em
Never been this blue
Dm	         G7
I never knew the meaning of a heartache
C            Am
But then again
	                 G     D
I never lost at love before
G	           Em
Somewhere down the road
Dm			    G7
Maybe all those years will find some meaning
C		    Am
I just can't think about 'em now
	            G      D
Or live them out anymore


Chorus 1:

G           D            C
Stand tall, don't you fall
   G                               D        C
For God's sake, don't go and do somethin' foolish
G                         D		G           D
All you're feeling right now is silly human pride
    G           D           C
Oh, stand tall, don't you fall
    G                              D        C
Mmm, don't do somethin' you might regret later
G                       D
You're feelin' it like everyone
            G            D
It's silly human pride


Verse 2:

G                Em
Never lasted so long, no
Dm	           G7
Or through so much or through so many
C		Am                         G     D
I just can't believe I could throw it all away
G                 Em
Sometimes late at night
Dm                           G7
When there's nothing here except my old piano
C                   Am                     G     D
I'd almost give my hands to make you see my way


Chorus 2 / Outro:

G            D           C
Stand tall, don't you fall
     G                          D	  C
Oh for God's sake, don't go do somethin' foolish
G                       D                G
All you're feeling right now is silly human pride
D
You got me down on my knees for you mama
G           D            C
Stand tall, don't you fall
    G                         D       C
Oh don't do something you'll regret later
G                    D
A-feelin' it like everyone
            G
It's silly human pride
D		           G
You got me fallin' again for you mama
            D            C
Stand tall, don't you fall
   G                    D        C
Oh you got me fallin' again for you lady
G                    D
A-feelin' it like everyone
            G            D
It's silly human pride
