Verse:
Now kid, I kn[A]ow I haven't b[F#m]een a perfect ma[E]n
And I've av[A]oided doing thi[F#m]ngs I know I can[E]
But if I le[A]arned one thing, the t[F#m]attoo on my a[E]rm will burn into my thumb
It wo[A]uld be that[F#m] [E]
You must[A] stick up for yours[F#m]elf, son
[E] Never mind what anybody else done
[A] Stick up for yours[F#m]elf, son
[E] Never mind what anybody else done
Now Old Man Sc[A]hmelling was a f[F#m]ormidable fo[E]e
But Ambling [A]Alp was, too, at l[F#m]east that's what I'm to[E]ld
But if you le[A]arn one thing, you've l[F#m]earned it well
In Ju[E]ne you must give fascists hell
They'll r[A]un[F#m] but they can't h[E]ide
You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
[C#m] And when those thunder clouds are cr[F#m]ying in the ski[E]es, in the skies
[C#m] And when those fireflies keep s[F#m]hining in your ey[E]es, in your eyes
[Bm] Keep your mind for the time[F#m], with your ass on the line
[Bm] Keep your fleet feet sl[F#m]iding to the si[E]de, to the side
((Back to A F#m E for remainder of song))
Now, the world can be an unfair place at times
But your lows will have their complement of highs
And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you
Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride
You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
