My Chemical Romance Welcome To The Black Parade

G            D
When I was a young boy,
Em             D
My father took me into the
Am      C              D      
city to see a marching band.

            G             D
He said, "Son when you grow up,
      Em          D             Am          C              D
would you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
        G         D
He said "Will you defeat them,
    Em            D          Am               C                  D
your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?"
        G            D
Because one day I'll leave you,
   Em        D            
A phantom to lead you in the
Am          C             D
summer, to join the black parade."

INSTRUMENTAL: (G,D,Em,D,Am,C,D) PLAY 1ST VERSE AGAIN

VERSE 2: STRUM FAST
G                   D             Em            D
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.
Am                C                  D (Dsus)
And other times I feel like I should go.
G                      D                   Em            D
And through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.
Am                      C               D
And when you're gone we want you all to know.

G            D
We'll carry on,
Em          D
We'll carry on
                  Am           C
And though you're dead and gone believe me
      D
Your memory will
G      D
carry on
Em         D
We'll carry on
          Am            C
And in my heart I can't contain it
         D
The anthem won't explain it.

G                D             Em         D
A woman sends you reeling from decimated dreams
     Am         C               D
Your misery and hate will kill us all.
G                     D
So paint it black and take it back
Em                     D
Lets shout it loud and clear
Am             C
Defiant to the end
           D
We hear the call

G         D
To carry on
Em          D
We'll carry on
                 Am             C
And though you're dead and gone believe me
       D
Your memory will
G     D
Carry on
Em           D
We'll carry on
                 Am           C
And though you're broken and defeated
D
Your weary widow marches

Em                             Am
On and on we carry through the fears
Ooh oh ohhhh
Em                         Am
Disappointed faces of your peers
Ooh oh ohhhh
C                         D
Take a look at me cause I could not care at all

G
Do or die
D
You'll never make me
Em                 D
Because the world, will never take my heart
Am           C
You can try, you'll never break me
D                D
You want it all, you wanna play this part

G                
I won't explain or
D
Say I'm sorry
Em             D
I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Am            
Give a cheer, for all the broken
D
Listen here, because it's who we are

G                D
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
Em              D
I'm just a boy, who's meant to sing this song
Am             
I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
D    D        D
I -- don't -- care

       G          D
We'll carry on
       Em         D
We'll carry on
Am                         C
And though you're dead and gone believe me
D
Your memory will

G        D
Carry on
Em          D
You'll carry on
Am                           C
And though you're broken and defeated
D
Your weary widow marches on

We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry on
We'll carry
We'll carry on

G           D
(Do or die You'll never make me
Em                 D
Because the world, will never take my heart
Am            C
You can try, you'll never break me
