[Printable version]

Written by Rich Mullins

-This is the correct version of If I Stand.  
-It is my own interpretation of the Rich Mullins Song.  
-I put this tab up because every song has the incorrect chords.  
-These are the correct chords to the song.  
-This should clear up any confusion or mistakes.  
-Also, Rich originally wrote the song on piano so the bass 
notes add depth to standard chords.  
-Most people will be able to sing the high notes when the song 
is in the key of C major.

There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
C9/B      Am            Esus       E        F     F9   F   C/E
More that shines in the night than just the moon

There's more than just this fire here that keeps me   warm
     Dsus               D             Gsus   G
In a shelter that is larger than this room


(Bridge)
          C              G                C          
There's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiment
  C9/B  Am              Esus       E     F    F9   F  C/E
A music higher than the songs that I can sing
Dm              Gsus     G             C  C9/B Am         
   The stuff of earth competes for the allegiance
      Dsus        D                 Gsus   G
I owe only to the giver of all good things


(Chorus)
        C     C2  C/E F            Am
So if I stand let me  stand on the promise
     Dsus     D       Gsus    G   Gsus   G
That You will pull me through
         Dm        C/E F           Am
And if I can't let me  fall on the grace
           Gsus    G     C   C2   C/E   F   Am  Gsus  G
That first brought me to You
     C    C2  C/E F           Am
If I sing let me sing for the joy
          Dsus   D        Gsus   G   Gsus   G
That has born in me these songs
         Dm       C/E F       Am
But if I weep let it  be as a man 
       Gsus    G       C    C2   C/E   F   Am   Gsus   G
Who is longing for his home


(Verse 2)
        C                G               C             
There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
C9/B       Am           Esus  E        F   F9   F   C/E
More that pulses in the ocean than the tide
Dm                        Gsus G           C    C/B     Am
   There's a love that is fiercer than the love between friends
     Dsus            D               Gsus          G
More gently than a mother's when her baby's at her side
