Verse 1: 
A         E 
Old James Dean Monroe 
D                        A      E  
Hands out flowers at the shop-n-go 
A                   E              D    A   E      
Hopes for money but all he gets is fear 
        A          E    
And the wind blows up his coat 
    D                      A       E 
And this he scribbles on a perfume note 
    A       E                     D    A    E 
"If I'm not here, then you're not here" 
And he says, 
 A    E  D      A 
"Call me miscreation, 
D     A        D   E 
I'm a walking celebration" 
 

         A                   E   D   A   E 
And it's hard to make a stand           
           A                   E   D   A   E 
Yeah, it's hard to make a stand 
             A                   E   D   A   E 
I think it's hard to make a stand 
         A                   E   D   A   E 
Oh, it's hard to make a stand 
 
Verse 2: 
A         E 
My friend, o lawdy 
D                    A       E 
Went to take care of her own body 
A            E               D   A   E 
But she got shot down in the road 
A                E 
She looked up before she went 
       D                 A      E 
Said, "this isn't really what I meant" 
        A          E                     D  A  E 
And the daily news said, "two with one stone" 
And I say, 
 A     E     D     A  
"Hey, there, miscreation, 
D       A       D        E 
Bring a flower, time is wasting" 
Chorus: 
         A                   E   D   A   E 
And it's hard to make a stand 
         A                   E   D   A   E 
Oh, it's hard to make a stand 
         A                   E   D   A   E 
Oh, it's hard to make a stand 
             A                   E   D   A   E 
I think it's hard to make a stand 
Yes it is     
Bridge: 
   F#m  D   Bm   E 
 
Verse 3: 
       A                 E 
We got loud guitars and quite suspicions 
D                   A      E 
Big, big guns and small ambitions 
A            E                 D   A   E 
And we still argue over who is God 
And I say,       
 A    E     D    E 
"Hey there, miscreation 
D      A      D   E 
We all need a revelation" 
I say,  
 A   E      D    E 
"Hey there, miscreation 
D      A      E 
We all need a celebration"
