Biography:
Mike Peters first rose to prominence in the mid-80s as lead singer of the Welsh band The Alarm, leaving that group in 1991 to begin a solo career. After the infamous Brixton academy gig, he retreated to a small church in North Wales to write new material for his solo career. Over a year later he emerged, refreshed, and contacted The Alarm's fan club. He then went on tour and funded his own fan club, The MPO (Mike Peters organization), he hasn't looked back since.

TUNING: Eb
Am G Am
Come on down and meet your maker
G Em
Come on down and make the Stand
Am
Oh, I have been out searching
G Am
With this black book in my hand
Am G
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages
Am
That I've tread
Am G Am
I met the walking dude, religious in his worn down cowboy boots
Am G
He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name
G
Swear he had no name
CHORUS:
Am G Am
Come on down and meet your maker
G Em Fmaj7 G
Come on down and make the Stand
Fmaj7 G Em
Come on down, come on down
Fmaj7 Am
Come on down we'll make the Stand
As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met doctor Strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
"Hey! Trashcan, where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying
Shall I play the funeral march?"
Play the funeral march
REAPEAT CHORUS:
When I looked out the window on the hardship that had struck
I saw the seven phials open the plague claimed man and son
Four men at a grave in silence got their hats bowed down in grace
A simple wooden cross had no epitaph engraved
No Epitaph engraved
REPEAT CHORUS:
Come roll out the red carpet come bugler sound the horn
For the hero is returning gotta welcome him to his home
Don't say I didn't warn you this prophesy is coming true
I can hear the cavalry thundering
Riding over the hill, riding over the hill
Am G Am
Come on down and meet your maker
G Em
Come on down and make the Stand
Am
Oh, I have been out searching
G Am
With this black book in my hand
Am G
And I've looked between the lines that lie on the pages
Am
That I've tread
Am G Am
I met the walking dude, religious in his worn down cowboy boots
Am G
He walked liked no man on earth I swear he had no name
G
Swear he had no name
CHORUS:
Am G Am
Come on down and meet your maker
G Em Fmaj7 G
Come on down and make the Stand
Fmaj7 G Em
Come on down, come on down
Fmaj7 Am
Come on down we'll make the Stand
As I crawled beneath the searchlights
Looking through the floorboards of this life
I met doctor Strangeloves cousin
He bore the marks of time
"Hey! Trashcan, where you going boy
Your eyes are feet apart
Is that the end you're carrying
Shall I play the funeral march?"
