Harry Chapin (December 7, 1942 – July 16, 1981) was an American singer and songwriter. Chapin's debut album, Heads and Tales (1972), was a success thanks to the single "Taxi". His follow-up album, Sniper and Other Love Songs, was less successful; but his third, Short Stories, was a major success. Verities & Balderdash, released soon after, was even more successful, bolstered by the chart-topping hit single "Cat's in the Cradle". He also wrote and performed a Broadway musical, The Night That Made America Famous.

LAST STAND ~~~~~~~~~~ as sung by "Big John Wallace" at the Harry Chapin Tribute written by Harry Chapin
A I used to be the old John Wayne D And fight the good fight once again A You find the strength to bear the pain EE7 Stand up to the final fall
A Now it's not just movie time D Now it's you that's on the line A Now it's you that's gonna find EE7 If you can stand it all
GA So you circle all the wagons GD And you hide behind the trees GAD Try to find your courage on your knees GA When you heard the sound of taps played GD By the one man marching band GA You knew this is where you'd have to make your EmD Last Stand
Baby, baby it's the last stand The last song from the last band The last note from the last man You give it all you can
The cards came down to the last deal The starvin' man in his last meal The movie's down to the last reel With an ending you never planned
You left me now, or so it seems Tumblin' down that last dream Findin' out that the final dream Can disappear so fast
Watch it all just fade away Comin' down to the last day The last out, the last play You're alone at last
So you circle all the wagons And you hide behind the trees Try to find your courage on your knees When you heard the sound of taps played By the one man marching band You knew this is where you'd have to make your Last Stand
