Welcome To The Black Parade

G D

When I was a young boy,

Em D

My father took me into the

Am C D (Dsus optional)

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."

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

DListen 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
