Corey Smith – Stand Our Ground (Guitar)

B                       F#
 When you take me up to Rose Hill

B                     F#
 When you lay my body low

B                              F#
 Wrap me in a flag, throw some 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                                       F#
 There's no need for the pictures 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                               F#
 To brandish my sword should they beat those battle drums

B           E                   F#       
 I stood my ground, I stood for 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                             F#
 Fought like he taught me to, until the very end

B           E                   F#       
 I stood my ground, I stood for 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                              F#
 My last regards to the man in charge

B                                 F#
 Let him know I served my country well

B                               F#
 He was right behind me all the way 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                                   F# 
 For my brothers and my sisters still fighting over there

B           E                            F#       
 They stand their ground, They stand for something

               B     E      F#
 Worth falling for     Yeah Yeah  

B           E                            F#       
 They stood their ground, They stood for something

               B     E      F#                     B  E  F#
 Worth falling for               Worth dying for
