My Chemical Romance – Welcome To The Black Parade

    G       D
When I was a young boy,
    Em       G       C
My father, took me into the city
   G    Em    Am   (optional D lead in)
To see a marching band
       G        D         Em    
He said, "Son when you grow up, 
   G         C       
will you be the saviour of the broken, 
 G    Em   Am
the beaten and the damned?"
       G        D          Em    
He said, "Will you defeat them, your demons, 
 G           C
and all the non-believers, the 
 G       Em     Am
plans that they have made? 
       G         D       Em       
Because one day, I'll leave you, a phantom, 
 G         C
to lead you in the summer, to 
 G     Em    Am
join the black parade."

    G          D         Em        G
Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me
    C       G            D
And other times I feel like I should go
     G           D
And through it all, the rise and fall
     Em       G
The bodies in the street
   C             G          D
And when you're gone we want you all to know
        G       D   Em
We'll carry on, We'll carry on
    G        C
And though you're dead and gone believe me
     D           G
Your memory will carry on
     D   Em
We'll carry on
   G     C
Until my heartache can contain it
     D
The anthem won't explain it
   G             D        Em     G
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
     C      G           D
Your misery and hate will kill us all
   G             D
So paint it black and take it back
   Em            G
Lets shout it loud and clear
  C       G          D
Defiant to the end we hear the call
      G
To carry on
 
     D  Em
We'll carry on,
    G       C
And though your dead and gone believe me
    D           G
Your memory will carry on
     D   Em
We'll carry on
    G         C
And though you're broken and defeated
     D
Your weary widow marches 

B7                     Em
On and on we carry through the fears
Em
Oh oh oh
B7                      Em
The disappointed faces of your peers
Em
Oh oh oh
C                   D           G
Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all

     D
Do or die 
              Em
You'll never make me
           G              C
Because the world will never take my heart
       G               Am
Go and try; you'll never break me
          D                G
We want it all, we want to play this part
           D           Em
I won???t explain, or say I???m sorry
         G             C
I???m unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
         G             Am
Give a cheer, for all the broken
