This is pretty basic. Listen to the recording to pick up the accents.

Stand Up

         (4x)

                                              
Stand up you foolish man I have walked with you for miles 
                                                       
If you deny me in front of every man I must forget you in the end 
                                                        
I have walked through this desert with your face burned on my brain 
                                                    
I have walked through the valleys knowing I would see you again 


                                               
Why don’t you stand up?          Why don’t you stand up? 
                                                     
Don’t you stand up?              Why don’t you stand up now? 


                                                  
Rise up my fallen friend for you have missed your mark again 
                              
You must grab hold of one of my wounded arms  
                            
And explain my death to your friends 
                                                        
I have walked through the desert with your face burned on my brain 
                                                   
I have walked through the valley knowing I would see you again 


                                           
Why don’t you stand up?                 Stand up now…  
                                                
Why won’t you stand up?            Why won’t you stand up now?
