	        LAST STAND 
~~~~~~~~~~ 
as sung by 'Big John Wallace' at the Harry Chapin Tribute 
written by Harry Chapin 
 
A 
I used to be the old John Wayne 
D 
And fight the good fight once again 
A 
You find the strength to bear the pain 
E                     E7 
Stand up to the final fall 
 
A 
Now it's not just movie time 
D 
Now it's you that's on the line 
A 
Now it's you that's gonna find 
E                   E7 
If you can stand it all 
 
G                     A 
So you circle all the wagons 
G                       D 
And you hide behind the trees 
G                A               D 
Try to find your courage on your knees 
         G                  A 
When you heard the sound of taps played 
G                       D 
By the one man marching band 
         G                   A 
You knew this is where you'd have to make your 
Em   D 
Last Stand 
 
Baby, baby it's the last stand 
The last song from the last band 
The last note from the last man 
You give it all you can 
 
The cards came down to the last deal 
The starvin' man in his last meal 
The movie's down to the last reel 
With an ending you never planned 
 
You left me now, or so it seems 
Tumblin' down that last dream 
Findin' out that the final dream 
Can disappear so fast 
 
Watch it all just fade away 
Comin' down to the last day 
The last out, the last play 
You're alone at last 
 
So you circle all the wagons 
And you hide behind the trees 
Try to find your courage on your knees 
When you heard the sound of taps played 
By the one man marching band 
You knew this is where you'd have to make your 
Last Stand 
 
Baby it's the last stand 
 
Baby it's the last stand 
 
It's the last stand 
 
Baby it's the last stand 
 
Baby it's the last stand 
 
Baby it's the last stand
