Give me a stand

 A standing ovation, baby

 Give me a road

Cost

 And if you won't mind
A                A7
 Just moving the fireside, baby

 I'd rather be cold

 With only be shop talk some
A7                        E

 Down  by the river, baby

 They might send  a wreath

 They might send a reason
