Welcome To The Black Parade

Capo 3

To carry on
G D Em Bm C Bm Am D We'll carry on
When I was a young boy, And though you're dead and gone believe
My father took me into the city me
To see a marching band. Your memory will carry on
He said, "Son when you grow up, We'll carry on
Would you be the savior of the broken, And though you're broken and defeated
The beaten and the damned?" Your weary widow marches
He said "Will you defeat them,
Your demons, and all the non-believers, B Em
The plans that they have made?" On and on we carry through the fears
"Because one day I'll leave you, Disappointed faces of your peers
A phantom to lead you in the summer, C Cm
To join The Black Parade." Take a look at me cause I could not care at
all
When I was a young boy,
My father took me into the city G D Em Bm C Bm C D
To see a marching band. Do or die, you'll never make me
He said, "Son when you grow up, Because the world will never take my heart
Would you be the saviour of the broken, Go and try, you'll never break me
The beaten and the damned?" We want it all, we wanna play this part
I won't explain or say I'm sorry
G D F C C G D D I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scar
Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching Give a cheer for all the broken
over me. Listen here, because it's who we are
And other times I feel like I should go. A E F#m C#m D C#m
And through it all, the rise and fall, the I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
bodies in the streets. Just a boy, who had to sing this song
And when you're gone we want you all to I'm just a man, I'm not a hero
know. E
I Don't Care!
G D Em D C C D D
We'll carry on, A E F#m E D D E E
We'll carry on We'll carry on
And though you're dead and gone believe We'll carry on
me And though you're dead and gone believe
Your memory will carry on me
We'll carry on Your memory will carry on
And in my heart I can't contain it We'll carry on
The anthem won't explain it. And though you're broken and defeated
Your weary widow marches on
A world that sends you reeling from
decimated dreams A E F#m C#m D D E A
Your misery and hate will kill us all. Do or die, you'll never make me
So paint it black and take it back Because the world will never take my heart
Let's shout it loud and clear Go and try, you'll never break me
Defiant to the end we hear the call We want it all, we wanna play this part
(We'll carry on)

And it came to me then that every plan is a tiny prayer to father time
C D Em Bm
As I stared at my shoes in the ICU that reeked of piss and 409

And I rationed my breaths as I said to myself that I'd already taken too much today

As each descending peak on the LCD took you a little farther away from me

Away from me

Amongst the vending machines and year-old magazines in a place where we only say
goodbye

It stung like a violent wind that our memories depend on a faulty camera in our minds

But I knew that you were a truth I would rather lose than to have never lain beside at all

And I looked around at all the eyes on the ground as the TV entertained itself

Am C Em Bm
'Cause there's no comfort in the waiting room

Just nervous pacers bracing for bad news

And then the nurse comes round and everyone will lift their heads

But I'm thinking of what Sarah said that "Love is watching someone die"

C D Em G
So who's going to watch you die?..
"The Sound Of Silence" Capo on 2nd fret

Am G [Verse]
Hello darkness, my old friend,
Am Am Em/G Fmaj7
I've come to talk with you again, Em
F C Rox-anne... You don't have to put on the
Because a vision softly creeping, red light
Am F C Dm Gsus4 Asus4
Left its seeds while I was sleeping, Those days are ov-er, you don't have to
F C sell your body to the night
And the vision that was planted in my brain Am Em/G Fmaj7 E
Am Rox-anne... You don't have to wear that
Still remains dress tonight
G Am Dm Gsus4 Asus4
Within the sound of silence. Am
walk the streets for money, you don't
care if it's wrong or if it's right
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
[Pre-Chorus]
Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp Dm Gsus4 Asus4
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of Am
a neon light Rox-anne... You don't have to put on the
That split the night red light
And touched the sound of silence Dm Gsus4 Asus4
A7sus4
Rox-anne... You don't have to put on the
And in the naked light I saw red light
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening [Chorus]
People writing songs that voices never
Dm-C
share
Rox-anne.... (put on the red light)
No one dare F-G
Disturb the sound of silence Rox-anne.... (put on the red light)
G-Am
Fools said I, You do not know Rox-anne.... (put on the red light)
Silence like a cancer grows G/D-C
Hear my words that I might teach you Rox-anne.... (put on the red light)
F-G Asus4
Take my arms that I might reach you
Rox-anne.... (put on the red light) Oh!
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
I loved you since I knew ya
And the people bowed and prayed I wouldn't talk down to ya
To the neon god they made I have to tell you just how I feel
And the sign flashed out its warning I won't share you with another boy
In the words that it was forming I know my mind is made up
And the sign said The words of the So put away your make up
prophets Told you once I won't tell you again it's a
Are written on the subway walls bad way
And tenement halls
And whispered in the sounds of silence
