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.”
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
D D
You want it all, you wanna play this part)
