[Verse]

          D
I dug my share of treasure
        C                    G
Dug so deep they called it a crime
         D
There might be pleasures I’ve never tasted
         G                   C
But I ain’t wasting no more time


[Chorus]

         D
Cause the furnace is burnin’ white-hot
         G                  F                          G
And the hammer is swingin’ with the weight of the world
         D
Now’s the time, like it or not
        F                     G
Stand and deliver, stand and deliver

[Verse]

         D
That old pig’s so proud lyin’ in the mud
         C                                    G
And Miss Chicken’s just happy, she ain’t been fried
     D
The buzzards ain’t worried about no flood
        G                    C
But I’m not ready to be satisfied


[Chorus]

         D
Cause the furnace is burnin’ white-hot
         G                  F                          G
And the hammer is swingin’ with the weight of the world
         D
Now’s the time, like it or not
        F                     G
Stand and deliver, stand and deliver


[Verse]

        D
I got a picture of Teddy Roosevelt
        C                             G
Hangin’ on the wall in my home on the range
      D
But I felt a strange wind blowin’
        G                        C
Tellin’ me something is about to change


[Chorus]

         D
Cause the furnace is burnin’ white-hot
         G                  F                          G
And the hammer is swingin’ with the weight of the world
         D
Now’s the time, like it or not
        F                     G
Stand and deliver, stand and deliver 


[Verse]

        D
Some folks keep their heads in the clouds
        C                             G
Straining for the sound of the angels strummin'
      D
I've been known to pray out loud
        G                        C
But I ain't waiting for the second comin'


[Chorus]

         D
Cause the furnace is burnin’ white-hot
         G                  F                          G
And the hammer is swingin’ with the weight of the world
         D
Now’s the time, like it or not
        F                     G
Stand and deliver, stand and deliver
