Stand Our Ground Corey Smith
[B] When you take me up to [F#]Rose Hill
[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] Don’t pour salt upon my [F#]grave
[G#m] I knew long ago that [E]I would be the one
[G#m] 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
[G#m] I died a patriot, a [E]soldier just like him
[G#m] Fought like he taught me to, un[F#]til the very end
