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

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

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.  
        C                  G                       C       D 
And other times I feel like I should go.  
      Am                G                       D                     Em 
Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.  
C                                  G                           C

And in my heart I cant contain it  
       Em                       Am 
The anthem wont explain it.  
 

       Am                      G                D                Em

         C                G                     C      D 
Your misery and hate will kill us all  
      Am                      G                         D                         Em 
So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear  
      C                         G                         C 
Do you fight it to the end We hear the call to
