Stand by Sly and the Family Stone
Transcribed by John Stewart

Verse:
G#
Stand In the end you'll still be you
                C#             G#                  F#
One that's done all the things you set out to do
F
Stand There's a cross for you to bear
                  Bb           F                Eb
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
G#
Stand For the things you know are right
           C#               G#                      F#
It s the truth that the truth makes them so uptight
F
Stand All the things you want are real
              Bb           F                     Eb
You have you to complete and there is no deal

VERSE:

G#      A#       Eb
Stand. stand, stand
Stand. stand, stand

Stand
You've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand
There's a midget standing tall
And the giant beside him about to fall

Stand. stand, stand
Stand. stand, stand

Stand
They will try to make you crawl
And they know what you're saying makes sense and all
Stand
Don't you know that you are free
Well at least in your mind if you want to be
