THE STAND
(Chuck Girard)

         F              F/G            F/A            Bb
And she gets up in the morning to the darkness of the dawn
     Gm                 Bb/Ab        Eb
She knows that soon the sun will be arisin'
     Cm                   Cm/D             Eb
And though things look so helpless on the surface of it all
         Cm                             Gm
There is now an inner strength she can rely on

        F              F/G           F/A                Bb
And she looks into the mirror and she knows what she is seeing
     Gm                 Bb/Ab              Eb
That face that once she could not stand to gaze on
Cm              Cm/D               Eb                                    
Even when she's feeling like the child she used to be
 C/E                                  F      (F/Eb,     F/D,     F/C, )
The woman she's become has made her free

           Bb                              Eb
She's the one who took the lessons of two thousand different years
         Cm               F               Bb
And she shaped them into something to believe in
      Bb                                  Eb
She's sorted through the laughter and the anger and the tears
          Gm7                      
She has made her final stand
             D                           Gm     
And with His help she now can handle anything

INSTR CHORDS:  (C...F...Bb...Eb...Ab...C#...C)

       F                F/G                F/A              Bb
As the chapter comes to closing, she looks back at all her fears
     Gm                Bb/Ab             Eb
She knows that now she made the right decision
Cm                   Cm/D                                                
She is total now she is complete
     Eb                                   
The corners have been purged
C/E                                    F        (F/Eb,     F/D,     F/C, )
She's come alive and there she's gonna stay
