F#7

[Verse 1]
F#7
The traffic lights are red for the honest man
F#7
He can wait or he can gable but it may not go to plan
F#7
Pounding on the door of life's lucky breaks
F#7
But your efforts are in vain because the doorman's on the take

[Chorus]
C#5                        B5
A man in a black coat and a pigskin cap
C#5                                           B5
Looks up to his saviour and asks where it's at
                                    E                     F#
And he says "There is no place more sacred than where you stand"
          B5
Where you stand
          F#5
Where you stand
          B5              E5
Where you stand, so stand up

[Verse 2]
F#7
An old lady gets on the bus with a pale faced voice
F#7
Looks around at all the sitters and she carefully makes her choice
F#7
Sits next to me holding her handbag up close
F#7
Keeps her eye on the one she fears the most

[Chorus]
C#5                        B5
A man in a black coat and a pigskin cap
C#5                                           B5
Looks up to his saviour and asks where it's at
                                    E                     F#
And he says "There is no place more sacred than where you stand"
          B5
Where you stand
          F#5
Where you stand
          B5              E5
Where you stand, so stand up

[Bridge]
F#
I'm sick of being sold things
                                B
I'm sick of being sold things I already own
       F#
Like a redskin indian
                                 B
Like a redskin indian who had to buy back his home
    F#                              B
The rabbi can teach, teach what the bagman can't sell
F#                                                  B
But in this ramshackle world it's time to ring them bells
                                 F#    B
No one is freeborn and nowhere unzoned
  F#
A man in a black coat and a pigskin cap
B                                             F#   B5 N.C.
Looks up to his saviour and asks where it's at

[Chorus]
          F#
Where you stand
          B
Where you stand
          F#
Where you stand
          B
Where you stand, so stand up
