If I Stand

         A              E                        A
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
E/G#        F#m                    A          D
More that shines in the night than just the moon
                                   E        A    E/G# F#m
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
      Bm                           D  E
In a shelter that is larger than this room

           A               E               A
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
E/G#         F#m                        A      D
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
                      E               A  E/G# F#m
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
       Bm                        D  E
I owe only to the giver of all good things


Chorus:
         A             D            F#m                   Bm        E
So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
          Bm           D            F#m                  D  E      A D F#m E
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you
     A            D            F#m           Bm                    E     E
If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
          Bm                 F#m          E              A  D  F#m E
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

verse 2: (Same as Verse 1)
         A                E                 A
There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
E/G#        F#m                A         D
More than pulses in the ocean than the tide
                                   E        A    E/G# F#m
There's a love that fiercer than the love between friends
          Bm                             D          E
More gentle than a mother's when her baby's at her side

           A               E               A
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
E/G#         F#m                        A      D
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
                      E               A  F#m
The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
       Bm                        D  E
I owe only to the giver of all good things

Chorus 2: CAPO 2 UP ONE WHOLE STEP (It changes key in the song)
         A             D            F#m                   Bm        E
So if I stand let me stand on the promise that you will pull me through
          Bm           D            F#m                  D  E      A D F#m E
And if I can't let me fall on the grace that first brought me to you
     A            D            F#m           Bm                    E     E
If I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
          Bm                 F#m          E              A  D  F#m E
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home
