"STAND TALL"
by Burton Cummings
Transcribed by Steve Garner ([email protected])
Intro: G
Verse 1:
G Em
Never been this blue
Dm G7
I never knew the meaning of a heartache
C Am
But then again
G D
I never lost at love before
G Em
Somewhere down the road
Dm G7
Maybe all those years will find some meaning
C Am
I just can't think about 'em now
G D
Or live them out anymore
Chorus 1:
G D C
Stand tall, don't you fall
G D C
For God's sake, don't go and do somethin' foolish
G D G D
All you're feeling right now is silly human pride
G D C
Oh, stand tall, don't you fall
G D C
Mmm, don't do somethin' you might regret later
G D
You're feelin' it like everyone
G D
It's silly human pride
Verse 2:
G Em
Never lasted so long, no
Dm G7
Or through so much or through so many
C Am G D
I just can't believe I could throw it all away
G Em
Sometimes late at night
Dm G7
When there's nothing here except my old piano
C Am G D
I'd almost give my hands to make you see my way
Chorus 2 / Outro:
G D C
Stand tall, don't you fall
G D C
Oh for God's sake, don't go do somethin' foolish
G D G
All you're feeling right now is silly human pride
D
You got me down on my knees for you mama
G D C
Stand tall, don't you fall
G D C
Oh don't do something you'll regret later
G D
A-feelin' it like everyone
G
It's silly human pride
D G
You got me fallin' again for you mama
D C
Stand tall, don't you fall
G D C
Oh you got me fallin' again for you lady
G D
A-feelin' it like everyone
G D
It's silly human pride
