Stand Our Ground Corey Smith
When you take m[B]e up to Rose Hill[F#]
[B] When you lay my body [F#]low
[B] Wrap me in a flag, throw some [F#]flowers on the ground,
[B] Say a few words then let me [F#]go
[B]There's no need to defend my [F#]honor
[B] Or justify the life I [F#]gave
[B] There's no need for the pictures of my [F#]happy childhood there, please
[B] Donā??t pour salt upon m[F#]y grave
[Abm] I knew long ago that [E]I would be the one
[Abm] To brandish my sword should they [F#]beat those battle drums
[B] I stood my [E]ground, I stood for [F#]something
Worth falling [B]for [E] Yeah [F#]Yeah
[B] Ask my father to [F#]forgive me
[B] I know he didn't under[F#]stand
[B] He worked too hard for [F#]way too many years
[B] To lose his boy in a foreign [F#]sand
[B] No doubt, he is [F#]angry
[B] No doubt where he'll put the [F#]blame
But don't [B]let him fall apart, Mama,
Don't let him [F#]go back to the pills
[B] Only pride will ease his [F#]pain
[Abm] I died a patriot, a [E]soldier just like him
[Abm] Fought like he taught me to, un[F#]til the very end
[B] I stood my [E]ground, I stood for [F#]something
Worth falling [B]for [E] Yeah [F#]Yeah Worth falling for...
[Abm] I hope this war's worth dying for
[E] I hope this war's worth dying for
[Abm] I hope this war's worth dying [F#]for
[B] Take my stripes and take my [F#]medals
[B] Take my flag and dog tags [F#]too
[B] Put 'em in a package, [F#]stain it with your tears,
[B] Send it up to Pennsylvania Ave[F#]nue
[B] My last regards to the man in [F#]charge
[B] Let him know I served my country [F#]well
[B] He was right behind me all the [F#]way to Kandahar
[B] The night my broken body [F#]fell
[Abm] Donā??t let a day go by wi[E]thout a peaceful prayer
[Abm] For my brothers and my sisters still [F#]fighting over there
[B] They stand [E]their ground, They stand for [F#]something
Worth falling [B]for [E] Yeah [F#]Yeah
[B] They stood [E]their ground, They stood for [F#]something
Worth falling [B]for [E] [F#] Worth dying for [B] [E] [F#]
I hope this war's worth dying for
(yeah yeah)
I hope this war's worth dying for
(yeah yeah)
I hope this war's worth dying for
(yeah yeah)
