You've Got to Stand for Something Aaron Tippin
CAPO: 4th Fret
INTRO: C F C G C
Now daddy didn't like trouble, but [G]if it came a[C]long
[F]Every one that [C]knew him knew which side that he would be [G]on
He [F]never was a [C]hero, or this [F]county's shining [C]light
But you could [Dm]always find him [F]standing up for [G]what he thought was [C]right
CHORUS:
He'd say, "You've [C]got to stand for something or you'll [F]fall for anyt[C]hing
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a [G]string
Never [F]compromise what's [C]right and [F]uphold your family [C]name
You've [Dm]got to [Dm/E]stand for [F]something[F/A] or you'll [G]fall for any[C]thing
We might have been better off or owned a bigger house
If daddy had done more, given in, or a little more backing down
But we always had plenty just living his advice
What ever you do today you'll have to sleep with tonight
CHORUS:
He'd say, "You've [C]got to stand for something or you'll [F]fall for anyt[C]hing
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a [G]string
Never [F]compromise what's [C]right and [F]uphold your family [C]name
You've [Dm]got to [Dm/E]stand for [F]something[F/A] or you'll [G]fall for any[C]thing
BRIDGE
I [F]know that things are [C]different than they [F]were in daddy's [C]day
But I [F]still believe what [C]makes a man [F]really hasn't [G]changed
CHORUS:
He'd say, "You've [C]got to stand for something or you'll [F]fall for anyt[C]hing
You've got to be your own man not a puppet on a [G]string
Never [F]compromise what's [C]right and [F]uphold your family [C]name
You've [Dm]got to [Dm/E]stand for [F]something[F/A] or you'll [G]fall for any[C]thing
