The Alarm - The Stand

Am                                G
Oh I have been out searching with the black book in my hand
Am                                         G
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages that I tread
Am                                G
I met the walking dude,religious, in his wom down cowboy boots
Am
He walked liked no man on earth
G
I swear he had no name (had no name)
I swear he had no name
Am             G         Am
Come on down & meet your maker
G       Em     F         G
Come on Down & Make the stand
F       G            Em            F
Come on down come on down come on down
F              Am
we'll make the stand

As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met Doctor Strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
"Hey! Trashcan where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying Shall I play the funeral march" (play the march)
"Play the funeral march"

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down & we'll make the stand.

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, we'll make the stand.

When I looked out the window
On the hardship that had struck I saw the seven phials open
The plague claimed man and son
Four men at a grave in silence With hats bowed down in grace
A simple wooden cross,
It had no epitaph engraved (it had no)
It had no epitaph engraved.

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on and make the stand

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on down, & we'll make the stand.

Come roll out the red carpet
come bugler sound the horn
For the hero is returning
you gotta welcome him to his home
don't say i didn't warn you
the prophecy is coming true
i can hear the calvary thundering
riding over the hill, riding over the hill

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
Come on and make the stand

Come on down & meet your maker
Come on down & make the stand
Come on down, come on down,
