E (022100)
G#m (446644)
Dsus4 (xx0233)
C#m7 (x4x454)
Intro twirly bit:

Followed by F#m (I start this with an upstroke) then repeated twirly bit followed by
F#m, then A and F#m chords repeated twice before lyrics
VERSE
A
I stood up for the first time
     F#m                       A   F#m
When I was just eleven months old
     A                         F#m
And ever since that day mama said
     A                         F#m
I never done what I was told
  A                            F#m
I never stood for nothing too much
                         A     F#m
All through my schooling years
      D                        E
But I stood as much as I could stand
                                         A     F#m
And I guess that?s why I?m still standing here
CHORUS:
       E
And then I stood up
     F#m  G#m       A     D    Dsus4
When love called my name, baby
  E
I stood up
    F#m        G#m      A            D    D
Even when that love was all in vain, baby
  E
I got stood up once
   F#m             G#m      A     D     D
And left out in the pouring rain, baby
    E
And then I stood up
    D                A   F#m   A  F#m
And I?ll do it again
VERSE (same chord pattern as verse above)
I guess I never understood what she could do
With all that flaming red hair
But I could not stand the heat in her kitchen
So Jack, I got on out of there
I stood up
To get a pack of cigarettes
Down at the corner store
Now she?s standing in some corner of my heart
Behind a kitchen screen door?whoaaaa
CHORUS
BRIDGE
 F#m               C#m7
I don?t know about you
                                                   D
But there?s a lot of things I never stood up to
                                  E
Even when I turned and walked away
                         E
I guess that?s why---I
                                    A  F#m  A  F#m
I?m standing on my own two feet today
VERSE (same chord pattern as verse above)
They gave last call for alcohol
And no one has to carry me home
You see, I only work here now man
My drinking days are long gone
I couldn?t stand up after one, NO!!
Til twenty had me down on the floor
Now the first one doesn?t get you
Even though I?m still the last one out the door
CHORUS (ends with last chord of Intro twirly bit and A chord)
Now to the beginner version with a capo that I use:
Capo second fret (F#BEAC#F#). Fingering below relative to capo
Chords:
Original A becomes a G (320003)
Original F#m becomes an Em (022000)
Original D becomes a slightly modified C (x3201x)
Original E becomes a D (yes, it?s an octave higher E but still sounds nice) (xx0232)
Original G#m becomes a F#m (can use barre chord 244222 or go octave higher and use
xx4222 but I use 20x222 using my thumb for top string and slightly dull the ?D? string with
the tip of my finger resting against the side of it as it barres across the other 2nd fret notes)
Original Dsus4 becomes a Csus4 (x3301x)
Original C#m7 becomes a Bm7 (x20202)
All the actual notes important to each chord (showing my workings!) is down below.
So with a capo on 2nd fret that changes it to
Intro twirly bit:

Followed by Em (I start this with an upstroke) then repeated twirly bit followed by Emm,
then G and Em chords repeated twice before lyrics
VERSE
G
I stood up for the first time
     Em                       G   Em
When I was just eleven months old
     G                        Em
And ever since that day mama said
     G                         Em
I never done what I was told
  G                           Em
I never stood for nothing too much
                         G     Em
All through my schooling years
      C                        D
But I stood as much as I could stand
                                         G     Em
And I guess that?s why I?m still standing here
CHORUS:
       D
And then I stood up
     Em  F#m       G     C    Csus4
When love called my name, baby
  D
I stood up
    Em        F#m      G           C   C
Even when that love was all in vain, baby
  D
I got stood up once
   Em             F#m      G     C     C
And left out in the pouring rain, baby
    D
And then I stood up
    C                G   Em   G  Em
And I?ll do it again
