let's form a parade
          Am Em 
would you be afraid
               E          Em                       D 
with bands and floats and queens and lots of clowns 
C                        G 
the plagues will lead us down
B   Am   G  
the main street
G       Am G 
dressed in banners
B        Am    G 
balloons candy sweet
G        Am     G 
whistles sirens and horns

drum and bugle teams
Em         Am       D      
the legion and the passing

crowd attending

lonely lonely eyes

smile through rubber disguise 
C               G
the cannons and guns
C              Em
all add to the fun
E             Am 
the mayor and local

at the end 
B   Am    G 
sad notation
G   Am       G 
men in white with rakes

clean up the big parade
Am         Em 
wind swept streets
C       G 
show to me
C        G
just the thousand programs left to lay
D      C        G   
that's what I'm trying to say
