-you can play either the 11 or the 6 here
Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man
And I've avoided doing things I know I can
But if I learned one thing, the tattoo on my arm will burn into my thumb
It would be that
You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Now Old Man Schmelling was a formidable foe
But Ambling Alp was, too, at least that's what I'm told
But if you learn one thing, you've learned it well
In June you must give fascists hell
They'll run but they can't hide
You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
And when those thunder clouds are crying in the skies, in the skies
And when those fireflies keep shining in your eyes, in your eyes
Keep your mind for the time, with your ass on the line
Keep your fleet feet sliding to the side, to the side
]
Now, the world can be an unfair place at times
But your lows will have their complement of highs
And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you
Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride
You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done

-you can play either the 11 or the 6 here
Now kid, I kn[A]ow I haven't b[F#m]een a perfect ma[E]n
And I've av[A]oided doing thi[F#m]ngs I know I can[E]
But if I le[A]arned one thing, the t[F#m]attoo on my a[E]rm will burn into my thumb
It wo[A]uld be that[F#m] [E]
You must[A] stick up for yours[F#m]elf, son
[E] Never mind what anybody else done
[A] Stick up for yours[F#m]elf, son
[E] Never mind what anybody else done
Now Old Man Sc[A]hmelling was a f[F#m]ormidable fo[E]e
But Ambling [A]Alp was, too, at l[F#m]east that's what I'm to[E]ld
But if you le[A]arn one thing, you've l[F#m]earned it well
In Ju[E]ne you must give fascists hell
They'll r[A]un[F#m] but they can't h[E]ide
You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
[C#m] And when those thunder clouds are cr[F#m]ying in the ski[E]es, in the skies
[C#m] And when those fireflies keep s[F#m]hining in your ey[E]es, in your eyes
[Bm] Keep your mind for the time[F#m], with your ass on the line
[Bm] Keep your fleet feet sl[F#m]iding to the si[E]de, to the side
[[Back to A F#m E for remainder of song]]
Now, the world can be an unfair place at times
But your lows will have their complement of highs
And if anyone should cheat you, take advantage of, or beat you
Raise your head and wear your wounds with pride
You must stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
Stick up for yourself, son
Never mind what anybody else done
