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