Stand (0304) ~Jewel

I posted the other version, and it isn't completely right  So this is like a
correction.  I actually found an acoustic version of this song and it sounds exactly the same.

Walk in a corner shop

See a shoplifting cop
     
See the old lady with a gun

See the hero try 2 run

Nothing's what it seems, I mean
     
It's not all dirty, but it's not all clean

There's children paying bills

There's monks buying thrills
         
There's pride for sale in magazines
         
There's pills for rent 2 make u clean

Marvin Gaye, there's no brother, brother

Woody Guthrie's land can't feed Mother

CHORUS:
              
Mothers weep, children sleep
                
So much violence ends in silence
                   
It's a shame there's no one 2 blame
                 
For all the pain that life brings
                                 
If u will just take me It might just complete me
                           
And together we can make a stand

VERSE 2 
A waitress brings me lunch
We meet but do not touch
On TV, D.C. is selling lies
While in the corner, King's dream dies
Go 2 the counter, pay for me and my friend
A homeless man pulls out a roll, says it's on him
The mayor has no cash
He said he spent it on hookers and hash



BRIDGE:
                  
U will love me, I will love u

CHORUS

*HINT*
1.  The names of the chords only mean the finger position.
2.  Use fast downward strums on the beats.
3.  When you're switching from Dm to Am play the open 6th string for the first
downward strum; it sounds really cool.


Enjoy,
