Stand Our Ground

B                       F#
 When you take me up to Rose Hill
B                     F#
 When you lay my body low
B                            
 Wrap me in a flag, throw some 
  F#
flowers on the ground,
B                            F#
 Say a few words then let me go


B                            F#
There's no need to defend my honor
B                      F#
 Or justify the life I gave
B                                 
 There's no need for the pictures 
      F#
of my happy childhood there, please
B                        F#
 Don’t pour salt upon my grave


G#m                   E
 I knew long ago that I would be the
 one
G#m                               
 To brandish my sword should they 
F#
beat those battle drums


B           E                   
 I stood my ground, I stood for 
F#
something
               B     E      F#
 Worth falling for     Yeah Yeah


B                 F#
 Ask my father to forgive me
B                      F#
 I know he didn't understand
B                       F#
 He worked too hard for way too many
 years
B                             F#
 To lose his boy in a foreign sand

B                F#
 No doubt, he is angry
B                             F#
 No doubt where he'll put the blame
           B
 But don't let him fall apart, Mama,
               F#
 Don't let him go back to the pills
B                         F#
 Only pride will ease his pain


G#m                  E
 I died a patriot, a soldier just 
like him
G#m                             
 Fought like he taught me to, until 
F#
the very end



B           E                   
 I stood my ground, I stood for 
F#
something
               B     E      F#
 Worth falling for     Yeah Yeah  
Worth falling for...

G#m
 I hope this war's worth dying for
E
 I hope this war's worth dying for
G#m                            F#
 I hope this war's worth dying for


B                            F#
 Take my stripes and take my medals
B                          F#
 Take my flag and dog tags too
B                      F#
 Put 'em in a package, stain it with
 your tears,
B                              F#
 Send it up to Pennsylvania Avenue


B                            
 My last regards to the man in 
  F#
charge
B                                 
 Let him know I served my country 
F#
well
B                               
 He was right behind me all the way 
F#
to Kandahar
B                         F#
 The night my broken body fell


G#m                        E
 Don’t let a day go by without a 
peaceful prayer
G#m                           
 For my brothers and my sisters 
        F#
still fighting over there


B           E                    
 They stand their ground, They 
        F#
stand for something
               B     E      F#
 Worth falling for     Yeah Yeah


B           E                    
 They stood their ground, They 
        F#
stood for something
               B     E      F#   
 Worth falling for               
                  B  E  F#
Worth dying for


 I hope this war's worth dying for
                        (yeah yeah)
