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

Sometimes I get the feeling she`s watching over me.
Am C D (Dsus)
And other times I feel like I should go.

Am C D
And when you`re gone we want you all to know.

And though you`re dead and gone believe me

carry on
