I SWEAR THIS IS ACCURATE (FOR AN ACOUSTIC VERSION OF THIS SONG, ANYWAY). IT
INCLUDES THE KEY CHANGE AND EVERYTHING!
G D
* When I was a young boy,
Em G C
My father, took me into the city
G Em C (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 C
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 C
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 C
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 C 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 C 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

The disappointed faces of your peers
