*Verse 1*
G D
Sometimes I get the feeling
Dm C
She's watching over me

The bodies in the streets
G D
And when you're gone we want you all to know
*Chorus*
G D Em
We'll carry on, we'll carry on
G C
And though you're dead and gone, believe me

Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on

And in my heart, I can't contain it
D
The anthem won't explain it
*Verse 2*

A world that sends you reeling

From decimated dreams

Your misery and hate will kill us all

So paint it black and take it back

Let's shout it loud and clear

Defiant to the end, we hear the call
