Chords for Candi Staton - Stand By Your Man Live In The Netherlands (2006)

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ In 1971 _ _ was a good year for me. _ _ _ _ _
I had a song called Stand By Your Man.
_ _ _ _ I was nominated for a Grammy Award.
_ It was my very first gold record. _
_ It went pop, it crossed over. _ _
And I want to do it for you tonight.
How many men are here? _
Oh!
_ _ _ Whoa, yeah!
_ _ _ This is your song.
You know, we don't have a whole lot of good songs for men.
Women just don't [N] sing real good songs about men, do they?
So this is a good one.
You guys got to help me out, all right?
_ Ladies, do you have a good man?
_ _ _ _ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. _ _ _
_ 11 women?
_ Oh, 12, 13.
We got a few.
_ _ _ I want you to clap for me, okay, when we do this.
I want you all to put your hands together.
We're going to do it for you.
