The Stand Chords

[Intro]
Am G   Am G
 
[Verse 1]
    Am
Oh, I have been out searching with the black book in my hand
Am
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
Am
I met the walking dude, religious, in his worn-down cowboy boots
Am
He walked liked no man on earth
  G
I swear he had no name (had no name) - I swear he had no name
 
[Chorus]
       Am             G      Am
Come on down and meet your maker
       G    Em        F       G
Come on down and make the stand
       F     G       G     Em       F
Come on down, come on down, come on down - we'll make the stand
 
Am G  Am G
 
[Verse 2]
     Am
As I crawled beneath the searchlights - looking through the floorboards of this life
Am
I met Doctor Strangelove's cousin - he bore the marks of time
Am
Hey! Trashcan where you going boy - your eyes are feet apart
Am
Is that the end you're carrying
        G
Shall I play the funeral march (play the march) Play the funeral march
 
[Chorus]
       Am             G      Am
Come on down and meet your maker
       G    Em        F       G
Come on down and make the stand
       F     G       G     Em       F
Come on down, come on down, come on down - we'll make the stand
 
Am G  Am G
 
[Verse 3]
     Am
When I looked out the window on the hardship that had struck
Am
I saw the seven phials open - the plague claimed man and son
Am
Four men at a grave in silence with hats bowed down in grace - a simple wooden cross
          G
It had no epitaph engraved (it had no) It had no epitaph engraved
 
[Chorus]
       Am             G      Am
Come on down and meet your maker
       G    Em        F       G
Come on down and make the stand
       F     G       G     Em       F
Come on down, come on down, come on down - we'll make the stand
