Welcome to the black parade

Dm       Gm   
When I was a young boy,    
       Am           Dm              Em   
My father took me into the city    
      Dm                   G   
To see a marching band.    
   
He said,    
  Dm                  Gm              Am            Dm                Em   
"Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken,    
       Dm                    G   
The beaten and the damned?"    
   
He said    
 D            G                          F#m               Bm           G                   D                              Em   
"Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?"    
                D             G   
Because one day I leave you,    
    F#m            Bm                  G   
A phantom to lead you in the summer,    
     D                        Em   
To join the black parade."

When I was a young boy,    
       C               D                Em   
My father took me into the city    
                               Am   
To see a marching band.

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me.    
        C                  G                       C       D   
And other times I feel like I should go.    
      Am                G                       D                     Em   
Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.    
C                                  G                           C

And in my heart I cant contain it    
       Em                       Am   
The anthem wont explain it.    
   
       Am                      G                D                Em   
And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams    
         C                G                     C      D   
Your misery and hate will kill us all    
      Am                      G                         D                         Em   
So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear    
      C                         G                         C   
Do you fight it to the end We hear the call to

We'll carry on

Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory

        Cm    Em   
We'll carry on
