Revised (and matured)
Here it goes:
G D
* When I was a young boy,
Em G C
My father, took me into the city
G Em Am (optional D lead in)
To see a marching band
G D Em G C
He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, the
G Em Am
beaten and the damned?"
G D Em G C
He said, "Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non-believers, the
G Em Am
plans that they have made?
G D Em G C
Because one day, I'll leave you, a phantom, to lead you in the summer, to
G Em Am
join the black parade."
*(THIS SECTION HAS THE EXACT SAME CHORD PROGRESSION AS THE FIRST TIME THESE LYRICS ARE SANG)
When I was,
A young boy
My father, took me into the city
To see a marching band
He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, the beaten and the damned?"
(THEN STRUM SOME D....AND THEN STRUM G AND LET IT RING TO LEAD INTO THE NEXT PART)
(NOW, LETS CHANGE THE PROGRESSION A BIT....FINALLY)
G D Em G C G D
G D Em G
Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me
C G D
And other times I feel like I should go
G D
And through it all, the rise and fall
Em G
The bodies in the street
C G D
And when you're gone we want you all to know
G D Em
We'll carry on, We'll carry on
G C
And though you're dead and gone believe me
D G
Your memory will carry on
D Em
We'll carry on
G C
Until my heartache can contain it
D
The anthem won't explain it
G D Em G
A world that sends you reeling from decimated dreams
C G D
Your misery and hate will kill us all
G D
So paint it black and take it back
Em G
Lets shout it loud and clear
C G D
Defiant to the end we hear the call
G
To carry on
D Em
We'll carry on,
G C
And though your dead and gone believe me
D G
Your memory will carry on
D Em
We'll carry on
G C
And though you're broken and defeated
D
Your weary widow marches
B7 Em
On and on we carry through the fears
Em
Oh oh oh
B7 Em
The disappointed faces of your peers
Em
Oh oh oh
C D G
Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all
D
Do or die
Em
You’ll never make me
G C
Because the world will never take my heart
G Am
Go and try; you’ll never break me
D G
We want it all, we want to play this part
D Em
I won’t explain, or say I’m sorry
G C
I’m unashamed, I’m gonna show my scar
G Am
Give a cheer, for all the broken
D A
Listen here, because it’s who we are
(KEY CHANGE)
E F#m
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
A D
Just a boy, whose meant to sing this song
A
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
E
I Don't Care
A E F#m
We'll carry on we'll carry on
A D
And though you're dead and gone believe me
E A
Your memory will carry on
E F#m
We'll carry on
A D
And though you're broken and defeated
E A
Your weary widow marches on
E
Do or die
F#m
You’ll never make me
A D
Because the world will never take my heart
A Bm
Go and try; you’ll never break me
E A
We want it all, we want to play this part
E
Do or die
F#m
You’ll never make me
A D
Because the world will never take my heart
A Bm
Go and try; you’ll never break me
E A
We want it all, we want to play this part (we'll carry on)
THE SINGER JUST SAYS "WE'LL CARRY ON" OVER AND OVER AT THE END, SO IF YOU WANT TO
SEE HOW THAT WORKS, HERE IT IS:
ALTERNATE PART TO THE ENDING
A D
And though you're broken and defeated
E A E F#m A D A Bm
Your weary widow marches *on* (do or die.....)
E A E F#m A D A Bm E A
*we'll carry on* *we'll carry* *we'll carry on*
