Revised (and matured)
Here it goes:
* When I was a young boy,
My father, took me into the city
G Em Am (optional D lead in)
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?"
He said, "Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non-believers, the
plans that they have made?
Because one day, I'll leave you, a phantom, to lead you in the summer, to
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)
Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me
And other times I feel like I should go
And through it all, the rise and fall
The bodies in the street
And when you're gone we want you all to know
We'll carry on, We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
Until my heartache can contain it
The anthem won't explain it
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
Lets shout it loud and clear
Defiant to the end we hear the call
To carry on
We'll carry on,
And though your dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches
On and on we carry through the fears
Oh oh oh
The disappointed faces of your peers
Oh oh oh
Take a look at me 'cause I could not care at all
Do or die
You’ll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try; you’ll never break me
We want it all, we want to play this part
I won’t explain, or say I’m sorry
I’m unashamed, I’m gonna show my scar
Give a cheer, for all the broken
Listen here, because it’s who we are
(KEY CHANGE)
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
Just a boy, whose meant to sing this song
I'm just a man; I'm not a hero
I Don't Care
We'll carry on we'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe me
Your memory will carry on
We'll carry on
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
Do or die
You’ll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try; you’ll never break me
We want it all, we want to play this part
Do or die
You’ll never make me
Because the world will never take my heart
Go and try; you’ll never break me
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
HOW WORKS, IT IS:
ALTERNATE PART TO THE ENDING
And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches *on* (do or die.....)
*we'll carry on* *we'll carry* *we'll carry on*
alrighty. Hopefullly this is a bit more satisfying :)
