perfect. I'm mostly just doing this so I can easily transpose the key. This is my

*Verse 1*
G D
Sometimes I get the feeling
Dm C
She's watching over me
G D
And other times I feel like I should go
G D
And through it all, the rise and fall
Dm C
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
D G D Em
Your memory will carry on, we'll carry on
G C
And in my heart, I can't contain it
D
The anthem won't explain it

It's long I know but I hate having to stop and scroll back up cause I forgot the
